What is indeed the aim of the Project ? and Why I choose it
I want to Build a Platform That will be FOR PwD " People with Disabilities " As wireless mouse that they can use it in presentation or can be used in Gaming as a wireless joystic ..
When I was In college Studying Electronics and Electrical Engineering .. I spent a lot of time searching for how to interface and control any input for the computer and build my interface with it as a my own customized kit for my PC thing ..
So I tried a lot to learn About Embedded systems , Communication Which I spent years to understand how can i send and receive data from and to Computer which I was amazed after I saw arduino for the first time as there were Serial Monitor which I was very happy that this thing can do this .. Then I Found to Processing and I was very happy to start working with .. as In same time I had Learnt Image Processing And Using Python and how to Use Programming good .
Then I Thought about make a mouse as a second Idea and Try to integrate my new mechanical skills with electronics and programming for the first time and try to make a full prototype for the first time as that is my important target for the academy from day one .. to learn new things and push myself out of the comfort zone .. As you saw I took CAD , machines and Project management very So far Out of my comfort zone ..
Story Behind :
So as a first application after all milestones to build My Device Ready to use I Decided to control a arm Robot Through Equations and Image processing and Communications and MultiThreading .. And that was my Output then ..
So my Strategy is to Make a mouse that is wireless to can play or Present with or to be used by the People with Disabilities PwD as I feel that will more Easily to use .. and can be easily use and make hand feel free and rest .. so i see how my hand looks like in normal postion for it and decided to use the analog joystic as it is an idea out of the box .. and this will tackle Electronics , Programming , Communication , Interfacing , CAD and Subtractive Technology in Casing for the Device Plugged at the Laptop and Addative Technology in Print the hand mount that we can be easily to left and not heavy .
What is the deadline ?
The deadline for myself is 11TH JUNE, this is basically the freeze time for my website . I also booked 18TH JUNE to present my final project. So I have ONLY 1 WEEK left!
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
Everything is Settledown Just Need to make the Video and Presentation Silde
How will I complete the remaining tasks in time?
Through the Rest time beside the documentation I will FInalize it
What has worked?
As I was working Along on Integration so I this is what I took in consideration and what to do for Next Phase Enhancement :
1) The 3D printed Part and the Input Circuit is one part now as the circuit fit exactly at it's mount .. For next Phase I will add place for a Nail to fix the Joystic at the mount or make the Width fit exactly with the joystic ..
2) The Laser Cutter part and Output Circuit is one Part Now as the circuit fit exactly .. And I broke a laser cutter part once to extract the Circuit but for next Phase I will make it with nails to easy exchange the circuit if i want as this wont be need at future but For Extremes I need to take this in consideration ..
What hasn't?
Just the sensor have a bad response and Noise .. Powering the Joystic I will take in Consideration at circuit and the mount to put a Powerbank and Put a Female USB in the circuit to can power it up .. But for the Circuit now I power it with external power from FTDI Pins ..
What questions still need to be resolved?
I am thinking about developing my project with next phase to use 3 Technology ..
1) My Project will work with analog joystick that have a good response and try to figure out how to come over the Noise
2) I want to add technology of replacing the joystic with a Touchpad Technology
3) I want to make my device with an app that will transform my phone screen to touchpad and make it easy to use ..
What have you learned?
All the Academy is a great experience .. From Using Each machine alone and Machine Integration and Using Electronics on this scale .. And my trials with the machine and with soldering .. And the 5 boards i destroyed because of Soldering ..
