Have you answered these questions:
This week i started my final project development, ordered the componenets for my Easy tester and started designing. My final project presentation page link is shown below.
1. What is the deadline? How much time do I have left?
For doing the entire project i have made a shedule in tabular format. Our project presentation is on 19 June 2017, this is 7th June 2017 and we have only 12 days to present. I am planning to finish it by 14th June 2017.
2. What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
I will share the shedule here in that you can find what is the time limit i have given to complete each task.
Easy Tester Work Schedule
| Sl.No | Activity | Sheduled date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Components collection | 02 June 2017 | completed on 05 June 2017 |
| 2 | PCB designing | 31 May 2017 | Completed on 31 may 2017 |
| 3 | PCB Milling and soldering | 03 June 2017 | Completed on 06 June 2017(delay in comp. shipping) |
| 4 | Programming and Testing | 06 June 2017 | Continuing | 5 | Case Design and 3D printing | 08 June 2017 | NA | 6 | Integration & Testing | 12 June 2017 | NA | 7 | Carry Case design and fabrication | 13 June 2017 | NA | 8 | Documentation and poster making | 14 June 2017 | NA |
3. How will I complete the remaining tasks in time?
As per the above shedules, currently i am delayed by almost three days, Actually my componenets shipment got delayed, i got the second batch components on 5th June 2017. On the same day i have soldered all the componenets and also finished the board continuity verification. Our presentation is on 19th June and i am planned to finish it on 14th june, so maximum with in 17th june i have time to finish it. I planned to work extra time on each day to counter balance the delays. Currently i am spending almost 15 hours per day for the development .
4. What has worked?
Completed the soldering and done continuity checks. Started the programming, at first programmed with small programms and i am able to program the pcb to display test on the LCD which is showed in my project documentation. Now i have to go to the actual code and to do learning, edit and finally to program the board.
5. What hasn't?
I am currently going through the main code , After editing the code i have to programm the pcb and test my easy tester functionality. After that need to print the case for the tester and other necessary accessories.
6. What questions still need to be resolved?
I have to do all the passive and active measurements with the instruments, and the code available has to modify according to my circuit connections and need to add some more features, I am not sure that i can add all the functionalities with in this short time duration. I thought to finish basic functions and will do the others later.
7. What have you learned?
Still i am continuing in working with different processes and machines, what i learned in this week is to make a double side board in modela machine. The 3D design of my case is going in rhinoceros and casting of my jacks are under process. It was a different experience in my 7 years of industry experience.
