Final Project Progress Tracking: Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Complete your final project, tracking your progress:

what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

what's working? what's not?

So far, i have not milled or tested the PCB, so I don't know if the circuit design works yet.
But the rotating disk mechanism and the interface design are working as intended.











Same goes for the 3D enclosure. Have designed and kept it, still working on some quick clarifications and fixes.


what questions need to be resolved? - Will the PCB work as designed? Are there any errors in the schematic or layout that will cause it to fail?
- Will the firmware run correctly on the XIAO ESP32-S3 and interface properly with the OLED, encoder, and audio amp?
- Will the 3D-printed enclosure fit all the components and be comfortable to hold and use?
- Will the rotating disk rotate smoothly and provide the intended functionality?



what will happen when?


what have you learned?

- The importance of IP in protecting and sharing creative work
- The different types of IP and how they apply to a project like NanoJam
- How to choose an appropriate open license for a project
- The value of open documentation and sharing in the maker community
