Fab Lab
*1/8/2017
Today
was our first FAB LAB.
So
sir explained us about Fab Lab
A
Fab Lab has lots of prototyping machines
1.
Laser Cutter
2.
Radium Cutter
3.
Milling Machine
4.
3D Printer
How
to work on it and handle the machine properly.
Sir
were explaining us about the machines that they are very costly so use it
really carefully.
We
made a Pen Stand using a Laser Cutter.
The
material we used was Acrylic.
Now
we know what is a Laser Cutter is and how it works.

Sir
explained us about how a Radium Cutter works how to operate it through the
software named "Fab" and how to make manual adjustments.
the
software runs on an operating system named "Ubuntu".
Open
Terminal --type "sudo fab"
type
in the current account's password
then
choose "mesh (.stl)"
then
choose machine name as "Roland Vinyl Cutter (.rml)"
click
make_stl_rml
click
load .stl
then
select your .stl file and click load or open
click
make .png
choose
your finish
click
make.rml
then
click Send It! to start your job.

Today
we made Ganpati Decoration.
So
we started looking for new designs and then started the work.
We
used Laser Cutter while cutting the decoration on MDF sheets.
So
after lots of hard work our decoration was
ready.
The
first model was bought by Kulkarni Sir for Rs.250
We
learnt about the Laser Cutter more in depth.

Sir
explained us about Arduino and how it
works.
To
do the programming we need the Arduino IDE application.
The
application's base language is C and C++.
GND=Neutral Negative (-)
GND=Neutral Negative (-)
Which we
declared in our program - positive( + )
Firstly
we open the software
then we
opened tools
select
the board
select
the port (COM ports are used for Arduino)
file eg.
Blink
Program
So we
learnt how to program an Arduino
We did a
basic Signal from an Arduino.
*12/09/2017
We were
making a Magic Lantern which will start rotating when an obstacle comes near
it.
Units=mm
Dimensions
= 130*115*65
Material
Thickness =2.5
Our
Section was divided in two groups:-
Designing
( Fab Lab )
Arduino (
Fab Lab )
We were
designing our design in Inkscape Software.
Then when
the design was ready we went near the Laser Cutter to cut our design.
We cut a
box , the box contained a motor, Arduino, Obstacle Sensor.
So we
will complete the Lantern when we have our next lecture.
*03/10/2017
We were
making an automatic LDR Circuit.
Materials:-
1. 12V
Relay
2. LDR
3. 1K
Resistor
4. 10K
Potentiometer
5. Patti
Wire
6. 13C547
Transistor
The
materials we need to use later.
The
important part is that you should do proper soldering otherwise it would be called Dry Solder.
Some
components have polarity.
So the
LDR circuit was working properly.
So today
our lantern started working with no issues.
