9.Mechanical design

This week's group assignment

  • make a machine, including the end effector
  • build the passive parts and operate it manually
  • document the group project and your individual contribution


This week We tried to make mechanical prototyping.

We have used below tools and materials to complete this assignment.

  • Software:
  • Autocad fusion360

  • Hardware:
  • -Laptop PC(Win10 64bit)
  • -USBtiny programmer
  • Trotec Speedy100R(Laser cutter)
  • -Roland SRM-20(Milling machine)
  • -Soldering Iron

  • Materials:
  • -Card board 5mm thick
  • -Nadya's kit

  • References:
  • -Week9 text
  • -Tutrial(W16)
  • -MTM
  • -MTM modular
  • -MTM modular doc
  • -gestalt(git)

  • Procedures:
    1. Idea brain storming
    2. Decide PIC and schedule
    3. modelling
    4. cut,assmble and test
    5. make LED board
    6. make FabNetUSB board


    Procedures:

    1.Idea brain storming

    This week's assignment is group work. At first we disucussed what to make.

    [Brain storming]

    At last we decide to make "Light art". Hope to make beautiful one.


    2.Decide PIC and schedule

    As this week's assnginment is group work. We decide PIC for each section and also schedule.

    PIC

    • Monma:LED board, cotrol programming
    • Asano:cut body data, make fabnet USB
    • Kondo:modelling, video shooting/edit, make LED parts

    Schedule

    • Week9(30 Mar-5 Apr):Prototyping,move by hand
    • Week10(6 Apr-12 Apr):Programming,finish,video shooting


    3.modelling(Kondo)

    Made laugh sketch and structure by fusion360

    [made simple model, use 2 modules and attatch LED board]


    4.cut,assmble and test(Asano and others)

    Cut card board and assembling.

    [Assembling]

    [need to adjust dimenstions in some place]

    [Movie:move by hand]

    5.make LED board(Monma)

    Made LED board and testing. We plan to control by Arduino.

    6.make FabNetUSB board(Asano)

    Made FabNetUSB board.
