I am very good at creating and thinking of ideas to make. One area of growth is to improve my coding skills. I would like to do clear documentation with nice photos. I also want to have by step-by-step completed page. Lastly, I would like to complete my posts on time and stay ahead so I don't accidentally miss one.
One design we made was the flower design, which we chose because it was simple and straightforward. We put 6 LEDs around the center of the flower.
Eleanor and I designed a flower with an LED and a resistor for each of the seven leaves. I will remember to plan out my board after doing the schematic in a organized way.
2 and 9 are my favorite
Many people suggested that I could laser cut the cross pattern. Most other people voted on the alien design because it had more shape and texture. The last part of the feedback is that people wanted me to add lights.
I think that this is a good design because it is simple yet very intricate, and I believe it will be a really cool design to come to life. Something that I have trouble creating is the front with the 3d printer since I want to make the colors very vivid (hot pink, electric blue).
I have done the cover and decided to do the front like a pineapple texture which would be 3d printed. The sides would also be 3d printed, leaving the back wooden with a hole to switch the speaker on and off.
My idea was that the front would feature a pineapple texture, the sides would be 3D printed, and the back would be made of wood. I dont need design modifications
My completed soldered circuit board is a flower with seven lights. I learned how to follow the circuit lines and solder resistors.
I had to re-solder my circuit because I believe it got fried and it wasn't working. I didn't understand what a capacitor did, but now I know it stores and releases electrical energy in an electric field.
I think I had to work on was my base circuit because at first it didn't work because it was fried, but once I got a new re-soldered one, the circuit worked.
