19.Project development

This week's assignment

  • Complete your final project, tracking your progress:

Fab message board BOM


Here are cutrent project status

-Here is each process for final project.

This prototyping and PCB are covering Week15"Network and communications".

  1. What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

  2. Completed: prototyping 8x8 LED matrix x 1 text scroll/send twitter message when push button by ESP8266/Touch sensor.
    Remain:prototype for receive twitter message/transfer message to LED matrix/multi LED scroll/buzzer


  3. What has worked? What hasn't?

  4. Worked: single LED matrix module/ send twitter message/ touch sensor
    Milled Main circuit board and worked once, but board was over heated. It seems shorted anywhere. Need to find actual place and root cause.
    Touch sensor worked by using arduino, but doesn't work on ES8266.


  5. What questions need to be resolved?

  6. How to scroll messange on multiple LED matrix module.
    How to get Twitter message.
    How to transfer messange to LED matrix.


  7. What will happen when?
  8. Finish prototyping by 5th Jun.
    Finish integrating all system by 12th Jun.
    Finish enclosure/ whole product by17th Jun.
    Finish presentation material by 19th Jun.


    I control project status by using simple gannt chart


  9. What have you learned?

  10. Electronic circuit and programming are still key issue for me. And master those skills are nesessary to make any product.
    I will continuously learning those areas after finishing this course.
