Assignment 20

Задание 20

In which I make a summary of my final project and FabAcademy experience

Q: what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

As expected, producing parts went well but there's still lack of info console I wanted to make and - this is actually the main task - find a place in my university to keep my project in order to recieve my reward.

Q:what has worked? what hasn't?

There was a massive failure with LED controller for console but I am literally one step away from making it work. And, if we are looking at the question globaly, my time management skill didn't work as I was trying to succeed at my studies and work during FabAcademy period and especially period of making the final project.

Q:what questions need to be resolved?

The burning question for me is how do I make my or suggested ideas look and feel interesting for the others. Maybe I need to cooperate with a designer of some kind so together - by mixing my production skills and their vision - we'd make mindblowing stuff.

Q:what will happen when?

Probably we'll become a nice duo of makes. Or it will improve quality of my projects.

Q:what have you learned?

Making PCBs was Terra Incognita for me - a completely new subject. I'd like to say that now I'm an expert in it but that's not true as I need a lot more experience to get stable results. Another new stuff - making web sites and this new skill has already earned me some money as a part time job. Also I have never paid so much attention to documentating the project and now I realize how improtant it is.

Salut!
