Introduction¶
My work¶
Note worthy mention of CC¶
Brick Layers: The Promise Of Stronger 3D Prints And Why We Cannot Have Nice Things
Creative Commons and its different types
what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?¶
Two stations work with BLE MESH and 1 receptor station that communicates with a web page.
Task that remains is doing more stations and having a sturdier MESH network.
what's working? what's not?¶
Sensors and the display work.
Basic MESH communications works too but I have distance issues.
I am still testing different communication methods.
I have tested :
- BLE MESH.
- LoRa MESH with meshtastic.
Two stations are operational.
One type of web interface is done. As I am still testing different ways of communications, the web page code should change too (comm between MESH and webpage).
what questions need to be resolved?¶
I want to simplify the station. So changing from ESP32 to am ATtiny.
Having a sturdier MESH network.
what will happen when?¶
It is for me a continuous project.
what have you learned?¶
Firstly: confidence.
There were tools I rarely used because I did not have the confidence to use them.
Than lots of thing.
- I relearned how to code.
- I barely knew how to solder.
- Using the sewing / embroidery machine. It was my first time I learned how to use one.
- Communication types and how to use them. Knew their existence but I only used and tinkered WiFi.
- I knew that we could lasercut flexible things but did not know that it was this hard to design them
- Never design & fabricated PCB. It is quite fun.
- This type of molding was also my first type. It is moe complicated than I though before doing it.
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project¶
It was never in my plan to disseminate it widely. I just wanted a tool to measure the pollution inside my fablab, that is home made and that be adjusted with our need to better our place.
But I will continue to document and publish the codes / files to make it.
Plus it is made so that students can see it and understand how it works.
