What I did this week
Supervisor Meeting Notes
Thesis
- Feedback for first draft thesis
- Remove details of hardware
- Beneficiaries
- Make sure it’s clear how the work addresses them
- Planning
- Evaluation of the Moscow and SMART how it helped prioritisation
- Ideation and conceptual
- Make clearer of what the process was
- Production
- Make clear what was done and what will be done
- Code may not be needed
- Merge stats and hardware paragraph together
- Finish circuits film that finish writing and then do housing
Due to the time left my supervisor advised that I paused production after finishing the circuits to focus on the project report. So, I made some final touches like recutting the racks as there wasn’t enough space for it to slot into it’s holding. Acrylic for the spatial organisation was also cut. I made them slightly bigger than planned to allow for it to be made smaller if need be for the housing construction.
The pause in production was also caused by a delay on Monday as the physical computing lab was closed the whole morning for filming. I was supposed to finish the circuits in the morning and go to the prototyping lab for the housing in the afternoon. But ended up working on finishing the circuits until closing.
I’m going to make a demonstration video with the circuits in case I can’t do the housing before the deadline. So, I also cut out 45cm x 45cm cardboard squares to mount the circuits onto.
I brought all the circuits home so, I could set up the demonstration over the weekend. I spent the rest of the working week on finishing and editing the project report.
I also finalised a design for the hardware symbolisation after all the delays
