16 Final Project Planning
Fab Academy Final Project Criteria:
1. CAD ( project design on a computer)
2. Physical Design & Fabrication3. Embedded Programming
4. Input devices - sensors ( ldr)
Output devices-actuators ( motors)
5. Electronic Design ( we are going to mill all needed boards).
what will it do?
Prototypes for sustainalbe building : interactive buidling components :elevation and roof panels.
1.Solar tracking system for roof solar panels
2. Elevation panels which interact with a light.
who's done what beforehand?
1. solar tracking (double axis solar tracking circuit) :
