7.3

  • Lab safety training CNC
  • Changes to website: borders and squared-tag
  • Made Wildcard Week documentation
  • Design monowheel pt2
  • Redesigned website

6.3 W7

  • Thought of design for make sth big
  • Research for "gravity powered mono wheel"
  • 1st cycle design monowheel
  • made documentation and pushed it to web

2.3-5.3

Am too lazy to add everything (I did A LOT). Basically everything w5, w6 added in push 5.3 (and not reported before) and Nuval corrections to previous weeks.

  • Regional and global lecture in lab
  • Finally pushed all my work from last 2 weeks I guess
  • Formatted website
  • Finished calculating costs for robots and updated final project page

28.2-1.3

  • Research electronics stuff
  • Made w5 and w6 initial pages docu
  • Started electrical circuit full and did sketches/ stuff on Kicad
  • Fixed all 3D model in FreeCAD and uploaded files
  • Updated ToDo-List
  • Updated update page
  • Researched charging circuits
  • Researched power distribution systems
  • Researched electronics requirements
  • Went to the lab 3 days in a row :)

Update 18.02.25

  • Updated website
  • Documentation Vinylcutter
  • Did RummiCup dxf things

Update 17.02.25

  • Microcontroller Showdown Writing down Part 3
  • Vinylcutter lets go
  • Instructor Feedback Questions Review

Update 16.02.25

  • Update and formatted page information
  • XXXXXXXXXX
  • Microcontroller showdown round 3
  • Fixed bug website: missing footer card
  • Started with simulation on Wokwi
  • XXXXXXXXXX
  • Ordered Pico Zeros on Amazon
  • XXXXXXXXXXX
  • Downloaded and tested Wokwi Plug-in for VS Code

Update 14-15.02.2025

  • Did sketch for interconnection within one puzzRob in draw.io
  • Updated side projects section
  • Microcontroller roundup 1 and 2
  • Comparison communication technologies
  • Researched options to communicate, charge
  • Updated page with all new info
  • Formatted new info (at least started to)
  • Wrote and researched further requirements and microcontrollers
  • Asked supervisor Roderich about their preferred microcontroller
  • Added links to include w4 stuff to website
  • w4 and choosing hardware page added
  • Linked overleaf with my GitHub for better editing
  • Learned how to do tables in HTML through this, this, and this tutorials

Update 11-13.02.25: W3

  • Lasercut stuff
  • Updated website: W3 update with lasercutter
  • Updated website: Final Project update 3D files
  • Did prep: pre stage development plan
  • Added a To Dos page
  • Design of pre design rough kicad sketch in draw.io -> import file to website!
  • Researched about different microcontrollers and compared them
  • Microprocessor vs Microcontroller vs FPGA options for the brains of puzzRobs -> microcontroller
  • Researched different types of wireless communication for close proximity, low volume data transfer -> NFC seems promising
  • Idea: instead of user interface: have NFC cards (collectible editions???) to choose the games for puzzRob -> set-up mode has to be transferred on top of already connected data! (Convergence to one option necessary, 'Collective decision making in distributed systems. See: "Swarm Robotics: A Formal Approach" by Prof. H. Hamann (currently in Konstanz), Summary available in my own state of the art document)
  • Attended regional lecture
  • Attended international lecture by Neil
  • Asked for any changes in the settings of the lasercutter -> focal point was changed
  • Added additional source to 'Related Work' in final project
  • Coordinated with supervisor from Darmstadt about their standards regarding templates, microcontrollers, etc.
  • Set up file structure and basic layout for Latex documentation for puzzRobs
  • Set up Latex environment for VS Code following this tutorial

Update 07.03.2025: for W3

  • Fixed some bugs on the website
  • Finished design Game Night Stand Table
  • Did fully parametric design puzz robots box
  • Finished the files for testing the lasercutter
  • redesigned GIK
  • Tried making ChatGPT make me a live update svg embed to resize and download files for puzz robots box automatically -> failed miserably
