I think a strength of mine is being able to execute on a clear vision I have. Typically I struggle with finding a doable design though.

Three things I want to commit to in the documentation of my learning and projects:

Providing good context for my images. (I want my aunt to understand everything about my page)
Making my page neat to best show how my learning progressed.
taking clear photos of my work to show progress.

Circuit Board Designs:

Chris and I chose the 4 people standing in a row design. We chose is because we think it would be a cool representation of our friend group and serve as a lasting memory of our high school days. We also think it will offer a unique challenge as getting the board to accurately reflect the photo might be tough.

A description of what you made

We made an outline of a photo of Me, Chris, and two of our friends in Rhino. We then exported the Rhino outline to Fusion and made it the shape for our PCB board. Each light will have a color corresponding to the person they are on. The switches on the back will allow us to conserve energy and light up individual people.

Who worked on this project

Christopher and Cillian.

One or more things you will remember about printed circuit board design.

The copper wires can't cross over each other on the same side of the board.

I like the sunglasses design. I know it will be tough to design but I think it could be fun.

I like the "Moon Rock" design circled. I know it will be tough to get right but I think I am able to make a quality design I can 3D print it well. The speakers will be stereo and all the other wholes will have tinted dark acrylic with a light behind them.

The general sentiment is that people are worried if I will be able to fit all the electronics in the meteor. People also were saying it would be tough to get the lights in.

Why do you believe this is an excellent design to design and build?

I think it effectively uses the capabilities Lick has to offer in terms of the tools on hand and it is a cool design.

How are you challenging your current skill set?

I will need to learn how to use the 3D printer. I will also need to learn how to get a snug fit on the openings which I think will challenge my Rhino skills.

Mostly Finished (80% +/-) Modeled Enclosure Design

I have the enclosure for the light mostly complete. I just need to finish modeling the box to house the other electronics and get the sizing for the screws and other electronic components that will plug into the speaker, battery, and circuit board. 1-2 more classes and I think I will be done with the design.
