plan and sketch a potential final project

• characterize lasercutter's focus, power, speed, rate, kerf, joint clearance and types
• cut something on the vinylcutter
• design, lasercut, and document a parametric construction kit, accounting for the lasercutter kerf, which can be assembled in multiple ways

• browse through the data sheet for your microcontroller
• write program for a microcontroller development board
• compare the performance and development workflows for other architectures

• test the design rules for 3D printer(s)
• design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time) that could not be made subtractively
• 3D scan an object

• Use an EDA tool to design a development board to interact and communicate with an embedded microcontroller

• Characterize the design rules for your in-house PCB production process
• Make and test the development board that you designed to interact and communicate with an embedded microcontroller

Design a mold around the stock and tooling that you'll be using, mill it (rough cut + three-axis finish cut), and use it to cast parts

Make (design+mill+assemble) something big

Add a sensor to a microcontroller board

Add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed, and program it to do something

Design, build, and connect wired or wireless node(s) with network or bus addresses and a local interface

Write an application that interfaces a user with an input &/or output device that you made.

• Design a machine that includes mechanism+actuation+automation+application.
• Build the mechanical parts and operate it manually.
• Document the group project and your individual contribution.

• Embroidery.
