My Assignments :) 24 Assigments
Project management
work through a git tutorial build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project
Coputer Added Design
assignment
model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, ...) a possible final project, and post it on your class page
Computer-Controlled Cutting
group assignment:
characterize your lasercutter, making test part(s)
that vary cutting settings and dimensions
individual assignment:
cut something on the vinylcutter
design, lasercut, and document a parametric press-fit construction kit,
accounting for the lasercutter kerf,
which can be assembled in multiple ways
Electronics Productions
assignment
group assignment:
characterize the specifications of your PCB production process
individual assignment:
make an in-circuit programmer by milling the PCB,
then optionally trying other processes

3D printing
assignment
group assignment:
- test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
individual assignment:
- design and 3D print an object (small, few cm)
that could not be made subtractively
- 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)
Electronics design
assignment
group project:
use the test equipment in your lab to observe the operation
of a microcontroller circuit board
individual project:
redraw the echo hello-world board,
add (at least) a button and LED (with current-limiting resistor)
check the design rules, make it, and test it
extra credit: simulate its operation
extra credit: render it
Computer Controlled Machining
group assignment
test runout, alignment, speeds, feeds, and toolpaths for your machine
individual assignment
make something big
Embedded Programming
individual assignment:
read a microcontroller data sheet
program your board to do something,
with as many different programming languages
and programming environments as possible
group assignment:
compare the performance and development workflows
for other architectures
Moulding and Casting
Group assignment:
Review the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials, then make and compare tests with each of them.
Individual assignment:
Design a 3D mold around the stock and tooling that you’ll be using, machine it, and use it to cast parts.
Input Programming
assignment individual assignment: measure something: add a sensor to a microcontroller board that you have designed and read it group assignment: measure the analog levels and digital signals in an input device
Output Device
assignment individual assignment: add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed, and program it to do something group assignment: measure the power consumption of an output device
Interface and Application Programming
assignment individual assignment: write an application that interfaces with an input &/or output device that you made group assignment: compare as many tool options as possible
Networking and Communication
assignment individual assignment: design and build a wired &/or wireless network connecting at least two processorsfpre group assignment: send a message between two projects
