Hello! My name is Suhail, pursuing Fab Academy from FabLab Kochi, Kerala. I did my graduation in Electronics & Communication Engineering in the year 2014, from GCEK. This website is dedicated to document my FabAcademy activities... Read More

All right, here is what I have done in my first week. This week is all about familarising version control systems, website development, setting up git repository, and creating a website.... Read More

At the week-2 lecture, Prof. Niel explained us basic concepts of Computer Aided Design(CAD). He introduced us to various 2D and 3D design tools. I had tried tools like gimp, inkscape and imagemagick before. But I am totally new to 3D design... Read More

This week, Professor Niel introduced us Computer-controlled cutting. Laser Cutter and Vinyl Cutter are two machines used for this purpose. We were given 2 individual assignments and a group assignment for this week.... Read More

Prof.Neil taught us about PCB milling, soldering components properly etc and he want us to build an ISP board and program it, which we will be using in future days. There are various Fab-ISP designs available and... Read More

This week we were taught about 3D printing and scanning techniques. We were given 3 assignments which includes one group assignment which is used to test various parameters of 3D printer... Read More

This week, Prof. Neil taught about various electronic components and elctronic designing tools. Our assignment for this week is, to redesign HelloWorld PCB with some extended features, an LED and a push button... Read More

Our assignment for this week is to make something BIG using CNC machine. We have a large machine by ShopBot (with has 8x4 bed size) and a small one, Modella MDX. Modella is used for PCB cutting and Shopbot is used for cutting plywood... Read More

This week was all about programming the board we had designed in week-6(electronic design). I have some experience in electronic designs and embedded programming. But it was 3 years ago:). I have almost forgot everything... Read More

This week we are going to do a group project. Mechanical part will be done this week and its automation has to be completed in coming week(Machine Design)... Read More

This week we were taught about various output devices. We had already learned about PCB board designing and Embedded Programming in previous weeks. Now its time to add an output device to our board and program it... Read More

This week we are doing the second part of our group project. In week 9 we had completed the mechanical parts. This week is about automating the movements. We have to add necessary electronic boards and program them... Read More

In this week our assignment is to create a 3D model of an object and mill the design and build a mould for the corresponding design. Then we have to cast the object in plastic or metallic material... Read More

This week we familiarised with various input devices and our assignment for this week is to read value from any sensor... Read More

This week we have to design and fabricate a 3D model and produce a fibre composite part. I decided to create a bicycle mudguard. I will be using burlap and linen cloth as composite materials... Read More

For completion of my final project, networking is required. I have to make use of both wired and wireless type of communication. Project details are available in final project page. Wired communication is needed for communicating with secondary board where motor controller and LCD display is connected.... Read More

This week is meant to learn about interfacing and application development. As I said in networking week, I will be continuing networking part here. I am using wireless communication using bluetooth module, HC05. The plan is to write a mobile application for controlling LED.... Read More

I am building a collaborative go-to telescope system, which is an advanced form of our group project done in machine making week. This will be done as a group project with my friend Tanvir. Go-to telescope refers to a type of telescope mount and related software which can... Read More

This week is for understanding Intellectual Property. Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners by law. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are the protections granted... Read More

Project development is going on. There are some question that needed to be answered for this week. They are answered here... Read More

ZenithScope is a collaborative go-to telescope system. A go-to telescope system can point telescope to astronomical objects that the user selects. My initial project proposal was a BCI device. After doing our group project in machine design week, we decided to develop it into... Read More
