Below is a timeline for the Catertainer production schedule. Certain objectives need to be completed by specific days in order to move forward, and this will help to solidify the day-to-day goals.
- 11.18 //
- Do initial setup. I need to get all of the components working together fairly well. This includes the lights, sound, proximity sensor, and (if possible) motion-sensor and small vibrating motor. The toy does not need to be housed in anything, but I should spend this whole preliminary construction week really getting the parts to work well together.
- 12.02 //
- The second week will involve really getting the circuit as compact as possible. I will need to research smaller components and try to build the circuit off of the breadboard. This will be one of the most crucial parts of the construction, so I should really take two weeks I have to make sure it is done right.
- 12.09 //
- Pre-final due. All of the sensors need to be working, and I should have an idea of what the final shape and components will be. I will want to experiment on a few feline test subjects to see if they are sufficiently "catertained."
- 11.16 //
- Final construction due. This last week should be spent solely on improving on the overall design and trouble-shooting / refining the code to make the toy work as well as possible. Get some good documentation!
