Final Project Concept
The Memory Measurer... A device to measure a child's growth and capture images of their progress.
Computer Aided Design
Designing an assembly that will house the FabISP we'll design next week!
Computer Controlled Cutting
Paying tribute to my favorite childhood toys, I set out to design a laser cut construction kit that allows endless building possibilities!
Electronics Production
Machining circuit boards, soldering tiny electronic components, and programming the finished board so it can be used to program other boards! What a week!
3D Printing & Scanning
Modeling and 3D printing an object that can't easily be created using traditional subtractive techniques, plus 3D scanning an object!
Electronics Design
Building on lessons learned from week-4, I dive into using PCB software to design a custom board!
Computer Controlled Machining
Employing parametric design tools and the Shopbot to make something BIG!
Embedded Programming
Programming the button and LED I put on the Millenium Falcon inspired circuit board I designed and made two weeks ago!
Molding and Casting
Inspired by my son's challenge to build an alternative piece for his Rubik's Cube, I designed a piece that "eliminates" the middle-edge pieces and then molded 12 pieces!
Input Devices
Looking to integrate magnets into my new idea for a final project, I built a board with a Hall Effect sensor to measure a magnetic field.
Output Devices
Building on last week's assignment, I change the color of and RGB LED as the magnetic around a Hall Effect sensor changes.
Interface & Application Programming
Can I make a GUI that responds to input from a board that I fabbed? ...let's find out!
Networking & Communications
Designing two boards that can communicate with one another over a Serial bus.
Mechanical & Machine Design
A two-week group project to design and fabricate a robotic etch-a-sketch machine!
Wildcard
Intrigued by the PFAFF sewing machine, I set out to learn how to use it and make an embroidered shirt for my son.
Invention & Intellectual Property
Deciding how the world can make use of my final design.
Final Project Development
On my way to builing my final project! Time management is the key!
