Internship Diary Week 8, the Last Week!
This week was my last week of working. I helped put together a laser keyboard. It is a lot bigger than the Voice Switches I worked on earlier. Also, I got to go to meetings about future software plans. That was interesting because I’ve never seen that part of development.
Internship Diary Week 7
I started cleaning up around the shop this week. We got it really clean! It was something different which made it more enjoyable than cleaning would normally be.
Internship Diary Week 6
This week I completed the Voice Switches I’ve been building! It was nice to put that final sticker on and put them in shipping cases.
Internship Diary Week 5
This week I soldered the final pieces of the Voice Switches I’ve been working on. I’m done with a big part, which is nice, and I’m moving on to a different part of building. Now, I’ve been programming the switches, making sure they work correctly, putting the finishing touches on the internal parts, and starting on getting them into their boxes (packaging).
Internship Diary Week 4
This week I got to try to find a problem with one of our prototypes. There was possibly an issue with it, but the issue had only come up once. I had to replicate the situation in which the issue came up and then try to make the issue come up again.
Internship Diary Week 3
This week [7/1/2011], I did more soldering. I’ve gotten much better at it and much quicker. In fact, it now feels like second nature. I think I'm getting close to as good as everyone else!
Internship Diary Week 2
This week [6/27/2011] I learned how to solder. I had never done it, but have wanted to learn. It was interesting to learn a skill needed in making any electronics.
Internship Diary Week 1
This week [6/20/2011], I started at InvoTek. I helped clean up the workshop and started using the AccuPoint and SafeLaser keyboards. Cleaning is, well, cleaning, but it was interesting to see the shop and all the different tools in it.
