Brief

Project Title

This will be telling me the basis/an starting understanding of what I'll be doing.

Project Goals

Project Constraints

This will be telling me the guidelines of what I'm able/have to do.

Research

Images that you used for inspiration

Write 2-3 sentences on why you chose this as your inspiration and what, if any, design decisions you will take on to your designs.

Idea Development and Brainstorming

Four Controller Ideas

Using the first assignment, add the image of your four 2D designs of what you what your controller to look like

Prototyping

First Prototype Controller View 1

This wasn't hard at all and I used play-doh to make a prototype model of my design because it was what was available to me. This allowed me to see what I was envisioning to an extent.

Final Model Controller View 1

Final Model Controller View 2

I feel that my design is aesthetically unique and has some unity with it. It has four buttons although there's an error with them. It could use color.

Video of your Controller working

My controller ended up not working but I feel that it was either a wire placement or code error.

Testing

After the first prototype is completed, I will have a hand out with questions for your to answer.

Using that self assessment, write one paragraph talking about your design. Make sure to add details about the design and the electronics. Include any failures or successes that may have come from the process of prototyping. Taking into account the feedback given in the critique, both from yourself and others, what are some changes you can make to your design that can enhance your design?

Final Model Self Assessment

Write 1-2 paragraphs summing up this project. What experiences did you gain from it? What were some of the biggest changes that you made through the process of designing your project? Include what your biggest success was and what challenges you may have faced in making the project. Make this a writing about what you experienced through the process and what changes you could make to make the process better for future working.
