My name is Marlon, and I'm a sophomore.
A design and enginerring strength of mine is that I am able to get the hang of concepts pretty quickly. An area of growth is double-checking all my measurements and all my work before moving on to the next step.
Things I want to commit to in the documentation of my work:
I want to take very clear notes on every step of the process.
I want to make sure I have lots of good photos of my work
I want to make sure that the descriptions for my photos make sense and add extra depth
Today in class, I made a circuit with 3 LEDs in parallel, and a circuit with 3 LEDs in series. After, I decided to try to connect them and add a switch that toggles between the two circuits.
Today we started sketching some ideas for our PCBs (portable circuit boards).
Today we did some guided ideation for our speaker design.
This is my custom PCB
This is what I want my final AMP to look like
This is what my cardboard prototype of my speaker looks like
This is the breadboard circuit I made to simulate my amp, and to make the speakers function
This is what the final PCB for my amp looked like in the schematic
Here is my finished AMP. I am very happy with it turned out, but if I were to do it again, I would be a lot more efficient with my time, and also be more thorough with my quality control.
