PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

What is the deadline? How much time do I have left?

Deadline is 19th June for the final project, and I have made a schedule for myself, which more or less, I am trying to follow.

What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

Design is ready, hinges have been tried and prototyped, mass production is remaining. Circuit design has been accomplished in eagle, the board needs to be milled and soldered. New modules need to be laser cut and assembled.

How will I complete the remaining tasks in time?

I made a schedule during Week 17, trying to follow up on it to finish everything on time

What has worked?

A prototype with single module is working, the hinges have come out well.

What has not worked?

I am still trying trying to work out the connections between multiple modules.

What questions still need to be resolved?

Apart from everything else, major concern is coding, because I am not very confident about it. I am learning and have few helpful people in the lab. So, hopefully, everything will be sorted in time.

What have you learned?

There is a long list to it.

Major learnings include designing the mechanism behind the desired movement,  design a custom board, a bit of coding, learning 3d printing and lots more. It has been the most eventful few months where I learned something new every day.
