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.
