- Describe workflows for CNC production.
Week 8 - Embedded Programming:
- Read the datasheet for the micro-controller you are programming.
- Identify relevant information in a micro-controller datasheet.
- Implement programming protocols, to control the board.
- Program the board you have made to do something, with as many different programming languages and programming environments as possible.
Week 9 - Input Devices:
- Measure something: add a sensor to a micro-controller board that you have designed and read it.
- Demonstrate workflows used in sensing something with input device(s) and MCU board.
- Use different type of sensors and monitor information through a serial port.
Week 10 - Digital Fabrication Applications and Implications:
- Define the scope of your personal project.
- Develop a project plan for the project.
Week 11 - Output Devices:
- Add an output device to a micro-controller board you've designed and program it to do something
- Make analogue and digital inputs to interact with different outputs.
- Demonstrate workflows used in controlling an output device(s) with MCU board you have designed.
Week 12 - Interface and Application Programming:
- Write an application that interfaces a user with an input and/or output device that you made.
- Interpret and implement design and programming protocols to create a Graphic User Interface (GUI).
Week 13 - Invention, Intelectual property and Income:

- Design, build, and connect wired or wireless node(s) with network or bus addresses.
- Demonstrate workflows used in network design.
- Implement and interpret networking protocols and/or communication protocols.
Week 15 - Molding and Casting:
- Design appropriate objects within the limitations of 3 axis machining.
- Demonstrate workflows used in mould design, construction and casting.
Week 16 - Wild Card Week: The CNC by the sea!
- Connect to the CNC from home and paint in sand.
- Use GCODE to command the CNC to clean and paint.
- Convert SVG files to GCODE, and clean the GCODE before applying it.
Week 17 - Final Project
- Compilation of the documentation of the FabAcademy assignments I have used to develop my project.
