Progress Milestones

25 to 30 May

• 25 May - Consulted local our Local instructors on my final project
• 25-26 May - Project Timeline Planning
• 26 May
  • Decide on what materials I need and created a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the electronics, mechanical components and accesories required
  • Collected electronic components from our local instructor
• 26-30 May - Answered questions for Exercise 17
• 26May - 30May - PCB Milling machine was out of service. Unable to mill any PCB; as the some tracks of were milled away..
• 26 May
  • Went on to stuff in my backup Fabkit 4.0 board just in case the CNC2020 mill is not able to be repaired in time

30 May to 3 June

• 30 May - 1 June
  • Study and review of how are the control circuitry going to be.
  • Worked on EAGLE on the control circuitry
  • 30th May - Troubleshoot and tried settle the Fabkt 4.0 board which was not functioning properly; SCK rc=-1 issue.
  • 31st May - Partially fixed the 328p Fabkits 4.0 board and decided to to milled out the controller board for my Laptop Stand; after our local instructor had informed that the CNC2020 mill had been restore and working well on 30 th May afternoon.

31 May to 9 June

• 2 June - Stuff my ATtiny 85 controller board.
• 2 - 6 June
  • Worked on the programming of my ATiny85 board.
  • Connected my AC fan and my DC LED strip to the my thermistor board and successfully tested the both the NTC sensor function as well as manual control ON/OFF function of light and fan separately
• 7-8 June
  • Further explored on how to code in the arduino programming when both the thermistor sensing and manual on/off programmes were combined into final control programme.

9 June to 15 June

• 9 June
• Working on the integration of all the components on my laptop stand.
• Design and fitting of housing for circuitry board.
• Laser cut the housing for the circuitry board
• 10 June
  • Testing of circuitry and programmed function after integrated into the circuit holder prototype
  • Testing of programmed functions as a whole.
• 12-13 June
• Assembly of all parts together
• Documentation of project

13 to 15 June

• Documentation of project and update of webpage
• Design of presentation.png page
• Putting a video together of final project

19 June

• Presentation of final project to Neil at random scheduled timing.

20 June - 28 June
