For my Capstone project, we were tasked to create a controller for a robot. To do this, my team and I divided the project into stages: planning, research, building, and testing. In the planning stage, we decided on who is doing what, when each task should be completed, what components we need to have, what types of information do we need, etc. In the research stage, we looked into the components, such as their attributes and prices. We also looked into RS-232 and other information about electrical circuits. We also looked more into 3D printing and about our target market which are people who suffer from the specific neuromuscular disease. In the building stages, we started developing the project. This portion of the project was also divided into 3 parts: electrical, mechanical, and software. We divided the project into components which allowed us to build the project from the inside out to minimize the chances that mistakes can be made. Each member was also assigned a task that they were comfortable with and were able to accomplish.
