Week 19 - Project Development

Lecture, Video

*Weeks Assignment*

complete your final project, tracking your progress:

* what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain? 
* what has worked? what hasn't?
* what questions need to be resolved?
* what will happen when?
* what have you learned?
   documentation during development
   demand- vs supply-side time management
   spiral development

In this weeks lecture Neils talked about that rapid protoyping with eagle and milling is faster then breadboarding. But it still takes me a day to finish a design and to mill a board and to solder it and program it some additioal. Most of the time I spend in eagle and then debugging the board. So I think I still need to get faster and find some tricks to make the process faster.

Some interesting links from this weeks lecture:

What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

Update 28 June 2016:

I really want to improve my space invader but I believe I wont have time before leaving Barcelona to complete all the tasks I wanted to do. I want to continue design a smaller board and let it produce in China and do my workshop with it in China at Fab12.

What has worked? What hasn't?

Worked

Not worked

What questions need to be resolved?

I still need to make the board smaller and figure out if I can run it on 3V with a coin battery. Also I need to test it once I have mounted if it can stand a crash.

What will happen when?

6 - 12 June: 1st Arduino Prototype Programming Interrupts, Attiny Board Design, Milling, Soldering, Desgining Interface, Programming

13 - 20 June: 3D Printing Case, Put everything together, Make Video

20 - 30 June: Design Small board for production in China, Mill Protoype

30 - 8 July: Finish Documenting


8 - 14 August: Finish Smaller design, Send Design to China, Develop Workshop

What have you learned?

I learned that I need do more complete prototypes quickly that work. I had one working board finished on the 12 of June and then I tried to improve the design to make it run on battery but I should have made a housing right away and thought about how to position the sensor on the axle.
