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 (-)

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 anArduino

We did a basic Signal from an Arduino.

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
