This week we also went to the Fablab, and this our third time spending our time there. We continued working on our watch design. To be honest, I didn’t expect that we would finish the watch before we move back to the maker lab. Anyway, it’s great opportunity for us to accomplish a goal and finish a whole product.
Basically, the watch was used to detect whether you curl and twist correctly. This is why we make those two words printed on the watch’s face. Continuing working on the circuit, we started learning coding and input those code and instructions into the circuit board. After doing a series of fancy operation, we can make our light turn on and off. Seriously, I don’t know how it works, but thanks to the really detailed and clear instruction, I finally understand how to make it work. Then the instructor gave us some the two cases of the watch, and they started teaching us how to assemble them together into a final product.
Later, we put the circuit board between the two wood cases and glue them together. Then, we use the plastic strip to combine them together. Moreover, we also need to put the wires and the tilt sensor together and pull them out through the loop. The tilt sensor can sense the rotation of the watch and indicate what action you’re doing. I found that one of the tilt sensor cannot be connect to the wire perfectly, and it’s kinda loose, so I used the glue to stick them together. Since the watch face should be fashion, I used to put “Supreme” & “Versace” logos on it. However, later I found that those logos are kinda of useless, so I deleted them and in order to make my watch face more fashion.
After we finished our product, Mehmet asked us to go back to the weekly statement activity. Last week, we begin to work on creating the story board of our product and how our customer can benefit from using our product. Since we started doing the weekly statement activity, I found it’s a really interesting and efficient way for us to learn more about what we reach so far of our product. It’s great opportunity for us to explore more and make developments to our product. By drawing the story board, I realized that there’re actually more approaches for us to modify our products and benefit more people.
Later on, Saloni, Ruei, and I discussed the video project of our class. We decided to make some interview videos, just simply asked a few questions to the professor, students, TA, and mentors. Hope we can have more shots and footages in next week’s meeting.
