Project development

How much time do I have left?

As in writing this Im just waiting for the fabrepository will close.

What has been completed and what remains?

I have made an lighthouse sculpture and Networked an humidity meter to an Servo Motor each on their respectable boards and I made an computer interface for those boards in processing. I've modeled the lighthouse in 3d in Sketchup but I have not finished designing the rack system on the inside of it intended to hold each board module in its place. Some of the boards had design flaws or were cruedly edited along the way and it would be better to remake them more cleanly. I did make a few extra modules that were not put to use before the deadline or documented because of lack of time, I've made a working bipolar Stepper board and a speaker module board each with networking nodes and I have bought an barrometric module that I have not put to use. So what is left? The sky is the limit and the project is ment to be in development but I hope that what I have achieved meets the bare minimum to pass the fabacademy.

How will I complete the remaining tasks in time

I was behind scedual on this so as of now nothing but documentation will be worked on until the end of fabacademy course.

What has worked

The DHT11 sent data to both the Computer and the Servo Motor Node wich were networked together and an interface both transmitted and reicived data to them.

What hasn't

Things yet to be finished as mentioned above

What questions still need to be resolved

There is much to learn but this will do for now.

What have you learned

I have learned so much that I think it will take me some time to realise it. I come as a newbie to programming and digital manufacturing processes and now I feel quite confident to hackle my way through various challenges.
