Assignment: Project Development


1. what is the deadline? How much time do I have left?

June 21, I have more than one week to finish my final project.

2. what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain? what has worked?

Because I still want to finish my original Autobicycle project, this project has a high technical difficulty, so I consult my guru, my plan is: Solving the technical problems of autobicycle before June 12th, the technical problem is to keep a bike balance through torque output by FOC brushless motor control. At the same time, purchase all the components of the Rocking Robot before June 12th.

If the problem Solved before June 12th, Autobicycle as the final project. Otherwise I immediately start the Rocking Robot project.

I failed on the Autobicycle project. So Until June 12th, I begin to complete the final project -- Rocking Robot.

The recent days after June 21th, I spend almost all my time in the Rocking Robot project ,programing ,testing , 3D Module etc. I have basically completed all my work according to the assessment book before June 28.

3. how will I complete the remaining tasks in time?

My deadline is June 21, From now on, I will suspend my work, put all the time and effort into the final project, technically basically not too much difficulty, time is enough, I can finish final project on time if no accident.

4. What has worked?

For the Autobicycle project, I have prepared all the materials, including: FOC control panel, brushless motor, large capacity battery, flywheel, frame, attitude sensor. And began the testing of key technologies.

At the same time, I am also ready for the Rocking Robot project to purchase all the devices: AutoBalance vechile, Pixy camera, voice speaker. These two projects have some of the same technology, so it will save time for the second project.

5. what hasn't?

On June 12th ,I gave up the Autobicycle project, because during the testing, the FOC control board is broken of too more power, if I buy another board, it will spend 5 days long.

After day and night work,on June 21, I finished the main function of Rocking Robot ,but the control of upper parts is still use commercial UNO board, not the 328p made mysle.

6.what questions still need to be resolved??

After presentation, I modify the struction a little .I change the commercial UNO board to 328P, print the Servo support frame and head cover.

I also want to add some smart voice recognition features. This has not finished yet. This version is only a beginning. Through the robot carrier, I need to learn and master more about PID and more about intelligent control. Now the robot can only move, and there is no arm, add arms later.

7. what have you learned?

The help of the Final Project is very very large to me , which enables me to combine all kinds of knowledge and skills I have learned before. But at the same time, I find that I have too much space to improve.I also think that Fablab is a very comprehensive course for creative clients.

I feel the FabLab courses give me a new colorful word, this time ,it is onlu the beginnig. come on !

The following is about the final project.
