Time


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


My project is due for friday the 16th of June, this is coming fast and still have a lot to do before being able to present something interesting. I have approximatively one week left to be ready for presentation. I will have to manage the time really adequatly to achieve the goals I set for my project in time.

what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?


Task completed:


- Developping concept idea
- BOM
- Aquiring material needed
- Design Cad of the machine
- Slide design


Task remaining


- Assembling the machine
- CNC custom parts
- develop processing application interface to transform sound into draw
- prototype the software integration to the machine
- test/test/test
- system integration of the final build
- Documentation on the go.

How will I complete the remaining tasks in time?


To be able to complete the remaining task in time, I will need a lot of organisation and time managment, I also plan my project development in a Spyral form, like Neil suggest us. The first build will be the two-axes machine that will be able to read G-code. Then, only after that I will work on the box containing the mic and the process to transform waveform into a draw. It's a lot to do in a week so I really want to be able to show something even if it's not totally done for the final presentation.

I Also use Trello and my google calendar to organize my time and my workflow. Here's is an exemple of what it looks like:



Learning Outcome


My project is really all about learning stuff and having fun, I don't feel myself near ready to accomplish something that I would be proud to put a price on it. Meanwhile, the idea behing it, is I think pretty interesting and could lead to some awsome artsy stuff.
