Fusion Team

May 22, 2020
In this last blog, I just want to say I am very grateful for this class and for everything I have learned in this class. This week, I focused on the videos that talked about and focused on Fusion360's Teams aspect. The first video showed how to access and set up a Team in Fusion360 and how it works and things like "Section Analysis" among your teammates. The other video went over more in depth in the process of creating a Fusion Team and then administer the team and your teammates.

Continuing with the videos!

This week I watched the next videos on the website called, "Parametric vs direct modeling", and "work with design versions". The first video shows how you can repair geometry with direct modeling mode and the differences between these two design methods.The second video went over how to create a new version, open multiple versions at once, promote an older version, and create, edit, and promote a milestone. Next week, I will probably watch the finishing videos going over Fusion 360's basic mechanics and user interface.

How to start a project

May 8, 2020
I watched the next 3 videos on the basics of Fusion 360. It showed me how to start a project, which involves saving and updating a file with your design(s). The next video showed how to open a design that is created in another CAD design and prepare it for future design work in the application (meaning Fusion 360). The final video showed me how to organize designs using 'components' and bodies. Next week, I will continue watching these videos to learn more about modeling and Fusion teams.

Continuing with the Instructions

May 1st, 2020
Today I watched the next 2 videos on the 'Getting started for absolute beginners" to continue learning the basics in Fusion360. These videos went over how to use the marketing menu and how to use the toolbar. Afterwards, I went on the application and tested it out for myself to get used to the toolbar and commands on there. In the future, I will continue watching the videos for beginners and will slowly understand more.

Learning about Fusion!

April 24th, 2020
This week, I just spent my time learning about Fusion 360 and navigating around it. I did not actually use Fusion 360 but instead have used this week to watch the next 3 videos on the Fusion 360 help. The videos showed me most of the application's basic functions and how to use it (like how to open close, export, upload, and save designs.) In the next few weeks, I would like to continue watching the help videos to get used to Fusion's user interface.

First Day Back and Introduction

April 17th, 2020
So first blog back since coronavirus hit. This week I downloaded Fusion 360 and got it to work, then I watched the first 2 videos on the Fusion 360 website. Afterwards I messed around with Fusion 360 for a while and tried to get more comfortable with it. I plan on continuing to watch the videos on the website and increase my knowledge on Fusion 360.

Almost working plane

March 10, 2020
Our plane has been tested and everything is functional. Our propeller is working and so are our servos. With the help of Tony, we figured out what each channel does and it will help us figure out what each one does and how to control the plane with the controller.

Making our Propeller work!

March 6th, 2020
We have connected the servos to the propeller and are making the propeller move and the servos make the plane's wings move. Hopefully by next class, we can fly our plane.

Parts #3

March 3, 2020
We continue to make progress by plugging in parts to our plane. One of our teammates is absent so we do not want to get too ahead without him but we are making progress.

Putting Parts in!

February 27, 2020 
Today we put in some of the parts and we plan to finish putting up the parts inside the plane and hopefully get our plane up and running by the next 2 weeks.

Parts received.

February 25th, 2020
 Today we finally have the materials needed to build the inside of the airplane. We have the propeller, servo, ESC, and battery. Today we are putting it all in the airplane. Hopefully in future classes, we receive the motor and are able to complete the airplane.

Making a list!

February 21, 2020
Today we have started on a list of what we need to purchase for the inside of the airplane (like the motor, battery propeller, etc.) Hopefully by next class we will have all of it and can start wiring it up.

Working hard or hardly working

February 19, 2020
Today we glued the plane's metal wires and stuck it together so the airplane is intact. We plan on buying and setting up the plane's motor and interior in future classes.

Airplane in progress!

February 12, 2020
Our airplane has had some minor setbacks but it is still moving forward. We have built the entire plane and all we have to do now is buy the motor. Next class, I hope to fix the minor problems withthe plane and continue making the model plane.

Monday is a tough day

February 10, 2020

Today we finished building the structure of the RC Plane. We finished gluing it and are almost done with the exterior of the plane. Hopefully, we can start on the motor of the plane in later classes.

Fixing the Plane and its Wing.

January 27, 2020

Today we fixed the plane by removing the wing because it was upside down and were able to glue the wires in the wing as well. We also did the airplane simulation and learned a little more about how to fly a model plane/ RC plane.

Gluing the Plane

January 23rd, 2020

Today we have put our plane together and are about three-fourths of the way done with gluing the airplane and plan on finishing up the plane today.

RC Plane Time

OK

January 21 2020

Today is the first day of our blog. Currently, this is our only assignment after our AutoCad Certification.
I plan to start our RC plane with my teammates in the future.
