Intellectual property or IP is the discussion for this week. I have read/heard about the same in numerous occasion related to my FOSS activities. I am a supporter, promoter and advocate of FOSS. I ha
“Smart Switch - S²” what will it do?As the name indicates, it is a smart “power socket” which connected to internet over WiFi and can be controlled over internet. A microcontroller, WiFi access a devi
ObjectiveWe are supposed to make an interface. It can be for anything, just a bar showing the data from a sensor or something for communication etc. In short make anything which has an interface. The
ObjectiveThe aim of this week is to get an understanding on how to communicate between board/nodes. It is similar to speaking. We will learn how to talk with other devices like computers, controllers
This week we have to make a 3D mold and make something of composites. But when they are combined to form a composite, they will exhibit a superior physical and chemical properties. Combined they will
This week is about output devices, thing which give out some recognizable output. Neil in his videos explained a variety of them, you can view it here. I have worked with some standard modules availab
This week we will learn the process of molding, different techniques to do the same, casting using it etc. I haven’t molded much except once during prefab which didn’t work out well. Neil’s lecture e
This week is about getting familiar with a range of different sensors and how to make use of them. Sensors are electronic devices used to sense/measure quantities like heat, pressure, movement, speed,
This week mark the beginning of the two week long group project where we should make a machine with at-least have 2 axis of motion. As we have a big group of participants, Franc divided us into 2 tea
This week is dedicated for playing around with controllers, processors etc- things which can be programmed to do stuff, things which are like mini computers. The most common microcontroller in our Fab
This week we are supposed to make something BIG using the CNC machine available in the labs. We have two of its kind Modella - it is a small machine which we us primarily for milling PCB boards. It
Electronic DesignThis week is dedicated for learning primarily electronic designing and electronic components and usage. As i have a background of learning and working with electronics, I am used to t
3D PrintingThis weeks lecture was all about 3D printing and 3D scanning. Neil began with a brief history on 3D printing and how its a pretty old technology which originated in MIT. Today it has gaine
Fab ISPNeil went through all the areas for electronic production which included making a PCB, soldering the components properly etc. This week I will be milling out one, and soldering components on to
This weeks assignment is to learn to use vinyl cutter and Laser cutter. We can use vinyl cutter to cut out stickers or make flexible PCB’s or mask for screen printing etc. Laser cutter can be used to
GoalThis week’s goal is to get to know about all the design tools which can be used for designing the final project. This covers both 2D and 3D designing, rendering, simulation etc. During this weeks
