Assignment Deliverables
- Physical prototype of project with as many components working as possible. Function and proof of concept demonstrations are more important that looks or appearance.
Assignment Overview
Testing components in isolation can only go so far. Eventually a project needs to be assembled at scale with multiple components to see how everything is working together. Eventully a project prototype has a deadline. This is a good time to test a prototype.
- Assemble your project with as many of the parts as possible.
- The physical structure of the project should be moving away from tape and cardboard. More permanent materials and fastening methods should be used.
- Components, sensors, motors, relays, buttons, should be securely attached in the locations that they will be in the final project.
- Longer wires will be needed to connect the electronic components
- It is important that you can “disconnect” longer wires from component boards so you can disassemble and transport your project.
