Graduation Project
Today am officially starting the work on my graduation project. My colleagues and I have finished building the circuit and am currently laying out the UI for the computer software.
We had much bigger plans for our graduation project, but things didn't work out well as we hoped. My friends and I have received a huge amount of funding from King Abullah II Fund for Development (KAFD) for developing a device under the supervision of King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB). We are building a 3D Laser Scanner, a device that samples the surface of any real world object using top notch precision laser and uses the gathered data to construct a 3D model of the object.
We were intending to present this device as our graduation project. Unfortunately, we've faced tremendous trouble shipping the parts to Jordan. It's like three weeks till the discussion seminar now and we still haven't acquired any of the device parts!
Being so much behind schedule, we decided to switch to plan B; we'll present the hardware controller for the our 3D Scanner as a stand-alone university graduation project. The controller is almost ready, but will need further work to be presentable as a fully operative graduation project.
Our 3D Laser Scanner project will be resumed after graduation; we'll build the device in summer. I was really enthusiastic about letting you know how it works (the whole idea and design being my own) but I was advised by KADDB not to demonstrate the device's principle of operation as it's subject to acquiring a patent. Anyway, I'll get to publish all the details one day, be sure to check back here. You'll find something absolutely interesting :)
As for our graduation project, it'll be a programmable Multi-Axis Stepper Motor Controller. It is basically a controller that can drive multiple stepper motors at different speeds at the same time. It'll be running scripts designed by a computer software, much like a PLC.
Even though this project wasn't actually what I had in mind to payoff the past four years in university; it doesn't make it any less important. I'll make sure it includes intriguing ideas, on both conceptual and technical terms. After all, I won't be quitting university without leaving a remarkable memento ;)

Thanks, I've been working on it without stopping since I got the cable from X the other day!
I've made an incredible progress so far, it'll be much worth checking out when I finish, I'll let you know ;)
