    Schedule1: Wordpress

    After listening to the Fabacademy lecture, I decide to build my website in Wordpress. WordPress is an open-source content management system. There are hundreds of people all over the world working on it.

    I knew nothing about web building, WordPress publishing system build on PHP and MySQL. I just followed the online course on the “WordPress Tutorial ”. According to the tutorial “USBWebserver Local Enviroment Quick Build ”, I downloaded a “USBWebserver ” software to build a local PHP enviroment in my local computer.

    Because I almost knew nothing about PHP, I think it was very hard and I failed.

    Schedule2: HTML5 UP

    First of all, thanks to Fabacademy student whose number is 494, I know HTML5 UP from his website. You can get into his website “HERE”.

    I use the Notepad++ to edit HTML5. You can download it HERE.

    Then I download the temple from HTML5 UP. You can visit it HERE.

    Discription

    I like riding. I regard my bicycle as my dearest friend. In my imagination, my bicycle hopes that one day he can be like a 'horse'. So I want to add some intelligent functions on him. The main function may be called ‘auto follow’, which means that when I was walking on the road , my bicycle can follow with me autonomously. To put it in another way: I stop,it stops. I walk, it also moves. Just like a horse.

    The second funtion is called 'back with smartphone'. When the bicycle is far away from me, i will send a message to him by my smartphone. Then, he can return back.

    In this course, I want to realize the first function -- auto follow.

    Technology Scheme

    Power: At first I want to add motor on the bicycle and add Li battary, with 12V voltage to supply power.

    Balance Control: Add an encode or gyroscope to check its status,and use PID algorithm to control its balance.The main control unit is Arduino UNO.

    Follow: Use a Pixy Camera to check the position between the bicycle and the person, also use the PID algorithm to control its speed and direction.

    Other Devices: Fix a step motor in the bicycle bar, and connect it to the bicycle handle to control its direction. Design a device and fix it to the bicycle racks to keep the balance.

    First of all ,thanks our Gurus Ted for giving me more help on how to use git and Gitlab.

    Note: It is very important to read through all the doucuments provided by the FabAcademy. Some of them are listed below.

    Those doucuments are:

  • Git-Book
  • GitLab Doucument
  • Fab Academy 2016 Archive Instructions

    • Step 1: Download and install Git

  • Download Git for Windows : Click here to download
  • Install Git for Windows.

    • When Git setup has been completed,three icons will be added to you desktop.

    Here I use Git CMD console shell, which share the same function with Git Bash. The difference between them is their commands.

    Step 2: Generate SSH key

  • Sign in on git.fabacademy.org with your fablabs.io ID.
  • Double click the Git CMD icon to launch Git CMD to generate SSH key. An SSH key allows you to establish a secure connection between your computer and GitLab.

    • Type the following command in Git CMD shell.

    type ~\ssh\id_rsa.pub

    If you see a long string starting with ssh-rsa, you can skip the next ssh-keygen step.

  • To generate a new SSH key, you can use the following command in Git CMD shell:

    • ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "$your_email"

    This command will prompt you for a location and filename to store the key pair and for a password. When prompted for the location and filename, just press enter to use the default. If you use a different name, the key will not be used automatically.

  • Use the command below to show your public key in Git CMD shell:

    • type ~\ssh\id_rsa.pub

  • Use the command below to copy the key to the clipboard.

    • clip ~\ssh\id_rsa.pub

    Step 3: Set up your SSH Keys on Gitlab

  • Click git.fabacademy.org to enter GitLab for fabacademy.
  • Click the Profile Setting item which is located on the left side of the windows.
  • Click the SSH Keys item which is located on the left side of the windows.
  • In the text-field named "Key", right click your mouse and select paste, then the SSH Keys can be copied to the text-field. Waiting for a moment, your e-mail address will appear below the Title box.
  • Set up your SSH Keys on Gitlab sucessfully.

    • Step 4: Clone you Website to Gitlab

  • Select and enter the folder to store the repository page.
  • Use the command below in Git CMD shell to clone your repository :

    • git clone git@git.fabacademy.org:fabacademy< year > /< reponame > .git

  • You will find a new folder whose name is the same as your Fablab group name and it is the copied repo.
  • Use the command below in Git CMD shell to enter the local repository :

    • cd "your lab group name"

  • In the local repo, there is a subdirectory named students . Inside its students folder, you can find folders named by each student's id (student_id). Copy your web files to your own student_id folder. You can use windows explorer to copy your web files.
  • Use the command below in Git CMD shell to push your web files to Gitlab repository :

    • cd "your lab group name"

    git config --global user.email "your email"

    git config --global user.name "your name"

    git add .

    git commit -m "upload my web files"

    git push origin master

  • You make it!!! You can go to The Fab Academy to visit your own repo .
