I really looked forward this weekly assignment because it does really look like the kind of organization
I feel confident with even for a journey planning.
Starting from the
schedule page,
I found a summary list of question to be answered to for a clear final project definition:
propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered, answering:
projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills covered where possible,
you should make rather than buy the parts of your project.
Up to now, I’ve been developing my final project into my mind, little by little, giving more and more light to its physical shape and parts but actually everything was developed during weekly assignments but I couldn’t focus on the project globally up to now. So, my work lacked homogeneity and this module revealed to be quite helpful in that.
Now let’s give an answer to all those questions!
My final project (which still hasn’t a proper name) is an accessory for deaf people’s everyday life provided of two main functions: one is to give visibility to their hearing problems so as to make other people approach appropriately to them, the other is to provide a consciousness about surrounding sounds with vibrational patterns. A future development would see my project made of many different items which can be worn all together or independently. By now, there are two devices communicating: there’s a bobby pin and a bracelet. On the first one there are a microphone and a servo and
At the beginning of the course, while wondering about the feasibility of my final project, I made myself an idea about the state of the art of topics related to mine. You can find my results here.
The following is a complete list of the material I need for the project:
All the components (except for fabrics) will be within those of the inventory and I’ll need to buy one of the bluetooth module.
Except for one of the Bluetooth modules, I already have all materials in my lab, so for my final project I’ll
Total: 41€
I will develop:
I will use the following processes:
Both devices are almost defined and separately work, even though there’s no bluetooth module working yet.
I need to define better bobby pin’s shape and design the interface from scratch.
Finally, bluetooth exploitation has to be done.
I will say the project correctly works if:
Anyway, it's quite nice and helpful to plan everything like this but it also makes you feel time expands and retract pretty like a frog tongue...
And you're the mosquito that blissfully flies in the air :/
Time to work hard...HOLD ON!
