We using the ray of sunshine, cuh. I would like to have done this project, but Im taking 18 credit hours and the break during finals week is nice. I really enjoyed your class and Im sad that it got cut short; thanks for a great semester, chief.

Hello Lucas, Thanks for a great semester. I have used your roulette because I have a 103 in the class.

So I’m gonna start off by saying that Fusion 360 is WORLDS different from FreeCAD. When we were finishing up FreeCAD I did not think it was actually that bad, but the second we started Fusion, my view on that changed. Fusion is soooooo much more user friendly and manageable than hell week was. Anyway, here are my models:

Okay, so I know you said we could use a video for this part of the project, but I do not have access to the thing that I need to record right now. So for my functional object, I’m going to make a new shift knob for my car. The one that is in it right now is not only broken, but it is also the farthest from ergonomic. I have horrible calluses on my hand due to the horrible design; I’ve been dealing with the shift knob for nearly 4 years. The reason I do not have access to film the problem right now is because my car has been in the shop getting a new transmission installed.

To begin with, you described the week of FreeCAD as hell week, but I don’t completely agree with this. There was definitely a learning curve to this program, but I would not go as far as calling it hell.

The first piece that we created was the tutorial object. This was pretty self explanatory; I followed directions and it came out as it should have. For the next object, I made an object that slides onto the edge of my desk and holds a charger. The object is longer on the bottom to support the weight and keep the piece on the desk. The first part of the third and final object is a clevis pin with a hole in it and the second part is a cotter pin. the cotter pin goes through the hole in the clevis pin and will not fall out no matter how you move the pieces. Overall, FreeCad was not too bad of a section; I kinda enjoyed it.

To start off, I thought that AppInventor was the worst application. I was completely wrong,Tinkercad takes the trophy for that one. App inventor was initially pretty bad, but it got better fairly quickly..Tinkercad on the other hand did not get any better. It is the actual devil. That being said, the objects that you gave us in class were not that difficult to design in tinkercad. The most difficult object that you gave us to design was the aviators. they kinda sucked. anyway, below are the screenshots of all the object.

This week of app development was very productive. The group finished the back end development of our application and started working on the front end. Most of the sprites have been developed in photoshop, we just need to make the visuals for the last two scenes. My contribution to the team was building all of the code for the app and working out the logic. This was an interesting feat; had I been able to actually write the code it would have gone a lot smoother. It is definitely safe to say there was a learning curve to figuring out the blocks, but I got it. In the end, I surprisingly had a fun time developing the app, and I don’t necessarily hate AppInventor anymore.

     Okay, I’m gonna start off on a rant cause this application is actual aids. For someone who knows how to program, it is extremely painful to drag blocks onto the screen like a child. this program is the devil. But anyways, I decided to build (quite literally) an application to pull up a web view of my blog when a button is pressed. I put legos together to make the things i put on my screen do stuff…. I’m going to play in traffic now 🙂 ..not really, but I essentially dragged a webView onto the screen and set the default url to my blog website and the visibility to false. I then dragged a button onto the screen and dragged some aids…I mean legos…I mean code.. onto the screen to make the webView visible when the button is pressed. 

     Overall, the program is pretty simple to play with, But that does NOT make it any less horrible. I played with a few other applications, didnt like the way that they came out. mostly because of the fact the you can drag shit onto the screen, but you cant move it within the view. whats the point of dragging it if I cant move it the same way?. I was going to make something more complex, but I really didnt care to learn this program much more, as it is completely useless to me. Have a nice day.

Hello, my name is Austin Cannan. I am a senior pursuing a degree in Cyber Criminology. An interesting fact about me is that I am a photographer, So when I heard that we had to post photos that we took, I was kinda excited. I started my journey in photography a little over a year ago when I bought my first camera. My photography skillset has come a long way since then, and I’d like to think that I have become a pretty damn good automotive photographer. Below are a few of my favorite shots that I’ve taken.

Aside from being a photographer, I also like to do a little coding in my free time. I started learning programming with Visual Basic back in freshmen year of high school, which somehow got me hooked on programming. By the time I was a Senior in high school, apple had released a new programming language; That language was Swift. I had quickly become obsessed with the language and by the time I graduated high school, I had multiple applications on the App Store. Key word “had”.. Apples Developer program is EXPENSIVE when you’re an indie developer thats not bringing in enough monetization to pay for the yearly subscription. Anyway, this is my blog.. hope you enjoy.
