Evaluate project plan
- According to the project infographic above, the original basic plan for my project was developed. The other possibilities will remain for future progress on the project
Apply time management techniques
- The reamining time of the course, will be used for more testing of the keyboard, improvements for the casing, and debbuging and extension of the code.
Summarize and communicate the essence of a project
- Is a cheap digital Braille text recorder that allows to capture text from a Braille-type keyboard, and save it to an SD card for later reading from a common electronic device like an smarthphone or a personal computer.

Questions
-
what is the deadline? How much time do I have left?
There is now only a couple of weeks left before final presentations. During this time, more tests must be made, and also plans for a new casing.
-
what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
The basic plan for the project has been completed. It effectively captures Braille type code from the keyboard, converts it to text, and stores it digitally on an SD-card. This card can be read from another electronic device.
Tasks that remain are: new casing, number recognition, tests with Braille literate persons.
-
how will I complete the remaining tasks in time?
Basic tasks have been completed, I built a working prototype with the basic functions of my proposed project.
-
what has worked?
Basic functions are working, the keyboard captures Braille typing from the user ans converts it to digital text.
-
what hasn't?
Code for number recognition hasn't been implemented.
-
what questions still need to be resolved?
Is the DBw useful for a Braille literate person?
Are the advantages I claim valid for a visually imapire person?
Is the SD-card system for the files useful for visaully impaired persons.
Can the DBw take the typing speed of a Braille literate person?
-
what have you learned?
There is a huge potential in a fabrication lab for people to investigate, learn, and find new ways to solve problems of daily life.
Simple porcesses of design and fabrication can lead to a full project, which can change and improve the life of people.
I also learned much new information about visual impairments, Braille code, education for the visually impaired and the difficulties these people face every day.
I learned about programming, electronics, design, fabrication, bussiness ideas, Fablab network and others.
