18. Project Development¶
Complete your final project, tracking your progress:
what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?¶
Completed Tasks¶
-
Nozzle and Pump system
Checked to drive the motor and its driver module. -
CoreXY
Complete the 3D design of overview
Supplied the parts to make CoreXY -
Programming
No progress… -
Table
Cut almost parts
Not assemble them yet -
Circuit Integration
Drew the overview of the integration of PCBs
Made some of the PCBs that I use -
Mechanical Integration
No progress…
Remained Tasks¶
I summarized the remained tasks at spread sheet to see the picture of my tasks and am going to manage them.
See image: jpg
what’s working? what’s not?¶
Worked
-
Got GPS data from my smartphone using Blynk app., Arduino UNO and my PC
-
Drove a DC pump motor and a stepper motor using Arduino UNO and the motor module in class kit
Not Worked
-
Operate motors with PCB that I made
-
Operate GPS data receiver module that I made
-
Operate CoreXY
-
Incorporate the function to receive GPS data and convert it to the coordinate data on CoreXY to the code
what questions need to be resolved?¶
-
How do I incorporate to operate CoreXY based on the GPS data into the code.
I don’t understand even the structure of the code yet. -
Where should I add the storage space of PCBs and Ink cartridge?
what will happen when?¶
-
June 13: 3D print the parts for CoreXY, Mill the motor module board x 2 (and if possible, also power supply module)
-
June 14: Cut the outframe of CoreXY by laser cutting
-
June 20: Cut the rest parts using CNC router and build a table
-
June 27 or 28: Mill the main board (Satsha-kit)
-
July 12: Check the whole operation( Receiving GSP data, Converting them to coordinate data on CoreXY, operate CoreXY based on the GPS data)
-
July 15: Complete the integration, and the presentation
what have you learned?¶
I learned a lot from Fab Academy2020; what material should I choose to make parts, what PCB does it needed to realize my final project. How to integrate them.
but most difficult thing for me is programming. I couldn’t understand the code to control coreXY using two of stepper motor.
And I believe that learning the way of manage the large scale of project supports for me to proceed the lecture and making my final project though the whole weeks.
