Plan and sketch of my final project

For my final project I decided to design, implement and program a low-cost Delta robot for teaching robotics concepts.
This robot will be used to make pick and place, for this will need a suction cup and vacuum pump.
I did a sketch of what the physical Delta robot would be, I'm thinking use step motors and I going to need to learn many mechanical concepts.



I did a plan to do my final project.



How I build my web site:

In this assignments i decide to do an emooc curse in codecademy to learn HTML and CSS, was a great opportunity to know how are made a website to learn HTML and CSS.



Searching some frames to use in my webpage i found an HTML editor called Sublime Text 3 www.sublimetext.com This was very helpful to start to do my HTML and CSS code to my Fabacademy website.



I was researching how to make a responsive menu

Using Git:

Once finished the web page, i proceeded to upload my web page to the git repository, for this i need to sign up for https://www.fablabs.io/ after that log in to http://git.fabacademy.org/fabacademy2017/


The next step was to dowload Git from: https://git-scm.com/download/win and proceed to install, after installing create a folder and clone an existing repository



Then I copy the folder of my webpage under the Fab Lab Tecsup repository


Finally in the Git Gui do the following steps:

  1. Press the “Rescan” button
  2. Press the “Stage Changed” button
  3. Press the “Commit” button
  4. In Remote>Fetch from>origin
  5. In Merge>Local merge
  6. Finally press the “Push” button

Other ways to use Git

GitLab gives you the posibility to use bash emulation using the command line
