18.Applications and Implications, Project Development

Assignments and Assessment this week

Applications and Implications:

Plan a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.

Your project should incorporate:

2D and 3D design Additive and subtractive fabrication processes Electronics design and production Embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming System integration and packaging. Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project. Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.

See Final Project Requirements for a complete list of requirements you must fulfil.

Project Development

Prepare drafts of your final project summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~25 MB), put them in your root directory, and check that they are linked in the final presentation schedule

Learning outcomes

Define the scope of a project Develop a project plan including a schedule and a bill of materials (BOM) Track the progress of your project Summarise and communicate the essence of your project development Have you answered these questions?

What will it do? Who has done what beforehand? What sources will you use? What will you design? What materials and components will be used? Where will they come from? How much will they cost? What parts and systems will be made? What processes will be used? What questions need to be answered? How will it be evaluated? Uploaded summary slide (placeholder) Uploaded video clip (placeholder) Checked they are linked in the final presentation schedule

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
