Bringing out the engineer in you
I believe The Radical motion simulator project was a subject of interest for my of my juniors in the Singapore Polytechnic doing their FYP now. It been about 5 months since I graduated from SP as a Mechanical engineering student in Singapore polytechnic (SP), but that didn't stop the fair bit of feedback I...
Lol, was just told by my intelligence network that I appeared on Tonight TV news, Channel News Asia a few moments ago, that one was the interview about my FYP motion simulator project I got the exhibition gold award for. They said I was professional on TV haha, with the exception of some acne... (haha maybe which popped...
Today is the last day of the SP Open house Spinnovex 2008 final year project showcase. The day started off as a lazy but otherwise smooth morning prior the opening of the event. There was an air of fatigue hanging around the tent (given the late industry night the day before and considering it being our 6th consecutive day...
The second day of Spinnovex started with us finally able to get hold of our goodie bags and finally some ice-cream to chow on- allowing us to relax after working a whole day on foot at the exhibition. Today is the last day of judging with one specially for us CIE groups in the morning (the results will be...
Today is the 1st public opening day of the SP open house and Spinnovex 2008. That is also when the crowds start flooding in to view all the various exhibited items on display as part of student's final year projects.
The whole event started in a bang with our guest of honor & nominated MP, Mr Edwin Khew visiting...
After many long weeks, not to mention Saturday and Sundays (Thanks going to our TSO) working on my final year project, today is the day where we get to move into the main exhibition tentage! My team's project was not really fully completed yet and we wanted to go in early so we can use up the rest of...
Got the result of the Spinnovex 2008 posting today. My team is heading for a confirmed spot in the Grand Plaza Tentage! Yea! *jumps round room for a while* And so are 5 other teams in our CIE group as well. That is the best honor we can get as a project group and it's a big hurdle cleared...
The last 2 project weeks saw disappointment being unable to submit our fabrication and parts order due to red tape in our school system and financial department to raise project budget. Hope things goes better this week.
Monday saw the first time we managed to get the actual simulator system running with few parts borrowed all round campus, which...
Went for a short 16km run this evening after a week of absence from the sport, maybe I am saturated with glucose or so, but the run was totally effortless and I never felt the "wall" at all, things look good to bump the distance up by another kilometer next week runs. The Alexandra canal route was exceptionally crowded...
After countless efforts over the past few days in the workshop to get the software for our simulator force feedback calculator to work, our fruits are starting to pay off - we managed to get readings all the direct X .dll output from the games we tested today, namely Need for Speed Most Wanted and EA sports Formula 1...
It turns out some projects will require constant design revisions to be perfect. Got news from my teammate that our supervisor wants another design change to the design of the simulator, namely making it more "unique" however, this means having to go a full 360 degrees into a total revamp, reason being our design is common for most simulators....
Popped by school today to meet up with my FYP teamamtes Khowming who was already there with other coursemates. Danson could not make it today due to some last minute issue on his part. Part of today's plan was to get our 2nd signage board up (which will be used for illustrative purposes at our display booth), together with...
Ah yes, the thing going on in the minds most of 3rd year students in SP have to be the Final Year Projects, aka FYP. While most had already started theirs since last semester, mine will officially start the next being a full-time 1 semester dedicated to FYP itself. Had been doing some team planning, administration and stuffs. My...
