My project was lacking in 3 main areas, manpower, time and resources.
In the workplace, for instance, working with a team who has experience with using Arduino would make the coding process faster and more efficient. The device could be built with more enhanced features, such as with wifi connection, which manpower is required to set up a secure internet network (such as Wireless@SG) with strong protection barriers that prevent hacking of this device.
With more time, I believed I could have achieved more, a code with more features, and a better prototype design. I leant the importance of time management through this project and that we have to give ourselves time to learn new things.
I was limited with resources due to budget. I ended up purchasing many electronic accessories and items to improve my product. I feel that a budget is important when carrying out such a project. The 3D printers in school were not very accurate at printing small details. Sometimes my print outs would have uneven surfaces or coloured spots that were stained from the nozzel printing an uneven first layer.
