Week 19:Project Development

Assignment:

  • Complete your final project.
    Track and document your progress.

The questions to be answered are 1)what is the deadline? How much time do I have left? 2)what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain? 3)how will I complete the remaining tasks in time? 4)what has worked? 5)what hasn't? 6)what questions still need to be resolved? 7)what have you learned?

ULTIMAKER FILAMENT MEASURING INSTRUMENT

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

I need one week more ,I have to complete by 12th june 2017 .

2)what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

Electronic production and case has been completed ,now I have to fix all components in the case such as LCD display,PCB,battery and switches,after that I have to modify my final program which is to be written in arduino.A reaserch is necessary for designing my the gear system .Finally lazer cutting of buttons and vinyl cutting of my stickers are necessary. The shedule i have prepared for my project is shown below. The shedules are updated on completion of each activities.

Sl.No Activity Sheduled date Status
1 Components collection 31 may 2017 completed
2 PCB designing 1 june 2017 completed
3 PCB Milling and soldering 02 June 2017 Completed
4 Programming and Testing 05 June 2017 Completed
5 Case Design and 3D printing 07 June 2017 Started
6 Integration 09 June 2017 NA
7 Upadtions or Modifications 10 June 2017 NA
8 Documentation and poster making 12 June 2017 NA

Till now i have completed the design, fabrication,programming and testing of U-FMI pcb board. Next i need to start the design of case and integration of all the parts after 3D printing the case. I am expecting everything will be completed as per my shedule.

3)how will I complete the remaining tasks in time?

I have a plan which has been documented in the week17 I will be focussing on that plan itself.what ever is not completed will be done at night .ie stay back is necessary

4)what has worked?

My project is being checked with arduino board and it is working smoothly .Now it is time to program my atmega328 board .

5)what hasn't?

The gear mechanism is a serious problem I am facing ,I am now working to solve that task.

6)what questions still need to be resolved?

For designing the gearsystem,I am confused of what radius I have to provide for gear ,wheter it will work or not and finally weather I have to use the bearing or a solid block ie cylindrical block.

7)what have you learned?

I learned how to convert my ideas to a product, using the facilities available in FABLAB.In my project I have to do electronic production in which I used Eagle ,this is the first time manual routing was done by me. I spend more than 3 days for complete my pcb design.
