My final project idea.¶
Sketch of my final project¶
Description of possible final project.¶
The potential final project aims to optimally reduce water consumption and locate the device in remote locations within the city, where it automatically supplies energy and performs its functions: measuring, dosing, and supplying water resources to plantations located at over 3,500 meters above sea level. Basically, it’s a smart control system, utilizing electronics, programming, and a bit of ingenuity.
Project management¶
For this weekly assignment task, we are going to require some essential software to fulfill the mandate requested by Neil…
Git Installation and Configuration.¶
We will start our session inside GitLab, since this will be our repository provided by FabAcademy, now we verify that our access link to our main page as students is enabled.
Now we are going to install GitBash, searching in the browser and executing as user, it is not difficult, just follow the indications; but we must be meticulous to identify what type of processor we have.
Okay, getting here has been easy, now let’s go to one of the drives of our computer, I recommend our local disk “D”. Once located here, we give it anticlick and run GitBash… watch out that it is inside the folder.
We register with USER NAME AND EMAIL, with the following commands.
Installing Visual Studio Code¶
“Now for the case of creating the clone of our assigned web page we are going to install Visual Studio Code, it is a quick and easy process.
We run the program, and proceed to clone our repository.”
To be able to clone we copy the address that is as an example in the screenshot, so we will obtain a copy of our repository and work on the VSC.
Synchronization and customization¶
Example¶
Once inside the VSC environment we can modify several things, icons, text, images and even generate the access links to support our work. Remember to always provide a comment “commit” to synchronize the changes in our page.
In this case we have loaded the MarkDown add-on, to be able to work inside VSC, so we can see the changes in real time, these are also reflected in our page.
LEARNING, FINDING AND LESSONS¶
In the generation of a corresponding page it is necessary to have the necessary resources to be able to implement, feed and upload each corresponding task, in my case I run VisualStudioCode (VSC) correctly, to synchronize the changes with fluides.
I saw some problems regarding uploading information with complementary files, for example images and videos. Now, if it is very long or heavy, it cannot be uploaded because I would get an error. Now the solution to this was to upload little by little and seeing the weight of the corresponding files.
The synchronization part between VSC and GitHub, if heavy files could not be uploaded and it did not respond, was to clone the established page and upload again with minimal files little by little.
