Design/engineering strength:
I am very imaginative and creative. I think up very out-of-the-box designs and am always enthusiastic about new things
Design/engineering area for growth:
I get down on myself quickly; I get too excited at first and then when something goes wrong I find it hard to continue.
3 documentation commitments:
Making sure my documentation is clear and easy to follow
Good pictures of projects

We chose to do the lemon because we wanted the LED's to be the seeds, and the watermelon was multiple colors, vs just a yellow lemon.
PCB Update #1
September 7th, 2023
Taran and Cole
We made a lemon slice with four LED lights as the seeds. All the details of the lemon are on the silkscreen layer.
I will remember how to export a board from EAGLE to Rhino

What Materials are you thinking of using?
Birch Wood
Red Acrylic
Yellow Acrylic
What are you uncertain about in terms of how the project will fit and hold together?
How I'm going to design and attach the hair
If the acrylic would stick well to the wood or if it would look good
Cardboard Prototype
Cardboard Prototype
This is Mr Kleindolph. He is 9x9 but in real life he will be 9x3 because it doesn't make sense to have a square shaped and it's too big. If you look really closely you can see his smirk cut into the material and his ears on both sides
Amp Circuit On Bread Board
September, 24, 2023Amp Circuit On Bread Board
You are looking at my main amp circuit with a blue light glowing out of it! I learned that you have to be very precise when working with breadboards, nothing can be wrong.

Cole and Simone - "Hard To Resist This PCB Design!"
November, 01, 2023Cole and Simone - "Hard To Resist This PCB Design!"
I worked with Simone, we split up the work by working together and checking each other's work. We did most of the PCB together and drew different connections with the wires. This circuit board is a little more complex then my first one but I learned what different things in Eagle do.
Microcontroller Day!
November, 08, 2023Microcontroller Day!
Kai, Gavin, and I had a blast! We got the screen to work with ease and printed the lyrics of I Want It That Way on it. We also got it to make a face and changed the size and speed of the text. We ran into some computer issues with the LED lights but we eventually got it to light up in the end.
Challenges w/ Microcontroller
November, 13, 2023Challenges w/ Microcontroller
Our challenge was to break the lights into 3 regions and have the peaks be red, the mid-intensity be blue and the low-intensity lights be green. I think we achieved this.
Digital Project
November, 15, 2023Digital Project
I'm planning to make the hair on top of Mr. Kleindolph's head glow
I will use the LED neopixels that we practiced with.
It will be part of my speaker
A visual of some sort (sketch, for example) of what you want to make.

I got a lot better at soldering and problem-solving.
Shaped PCB Project
December, 2, 2023Shaped PCB Project
This is a lemon slice with four LED lights and four resistors
I designed this with Taran
Amplifier Documentation
December 18, 2023Amplifier Documentation
I made Mr. Kleindolph
I'm most satisfied with the external switch. I removed it from the battery pack so it can now switch on and off separately from the battery pack.
If I were to start over, I would better design the hair to sit perfectly on the head because it doesn't currently. I would also make the hole for the volume smaller and make the tabs press-fit.
I learned how to use a laser cutter with ease and I will be in the shops using the laser cutter a lot next semester
Enclosure Build Process

This is a picture I took last Thursday, at that time I still needed to add the nose, twist the glasses, and incorporate the digital project
Digital Project
December 20, 2023Digital Project
I didn't save the code (whoops!), but I can tell you what I did. I used a neo-pixel grid for my digital project where I uploaded the original code to Mu and then changed the rest time and grid color. I also made it so all pixels on the grid lit up instead of just one.
I wanted Mr. Kleindolph's hair to light up and I was very successful!
I chose an easy digital project but I'm proud that it worked and I was able to navigate Mu with ease because that's always been something I struggled with
