My final project is purely based on the usage of some useful electronic components like stepper motor, servo motor, LCD dispay, microcontroller board, soem push buttons and a cutter. All of these components are easily found in the lab, and by employing them to make a wire cutter will make such a useful project. I am focusing on using this project in my Fab lab (Fab Lab Khairpur) , and obviously we have so many electrical engineering labs in our university which can benefit from this project. So, my future plans for this project are simple, I will be making these wire cutters for different labs. The other thing that's in my mind is to enhance the accuracy and increase the speed of the job. Moreover, I also intend to control the setup of wirecutter from a remote place by any wireless mechanism like bluetooth, ESP, or a Webserver.
During my undergraduate degree I read about licenses in Engineering Entrepreneurship course, it was really an intresting course for me as an Engineer. Durng the lecture PRof. Niel also discussed in a great detail about the importance of a product at commercial way,what sort of licences we can file for, what are patents and why they are important, how much we can allow the reuse of the designs, softwares, etc and how we can protect our original work with the copyrights. I read more about this from Inventions, Patents, and Licensing I read about some licenses given in thi list and the two I liked are discussed below:
Things to be considered while aplying for an open-source license:
MIT License is a short and permissive license . It is a very popular license for its allowance to people to change your code or program but keeping attribution to you and by not holding you liable for anything.
