Aqua final Fab Academy 2019 project, includes fabrication procedures and operation, hardware and software applied for the board at the boat to control the boat, the inflatable system (water presence inside the hulls), the safety lights and measure light intensity, UVA and air and water temperature.

# compare the idea with the outcame
Looking at the initial idea the final outcame is far from it but I manage to do a major step in order to start a crucial project at our Fab Lab, not yet a Fab Lab, but in the making, [lab aberto](http://lababerto.pt/). Its mostly a breakthrough into the tecnology, electronics, programing and digital fabrication. This does not mean that all the goals were completed, far from it. In my view I did only 1/4 of all the catamaran goals, and the 80% eco boat was just completed half way.
# Positive and negative
| Positive | Negative |
|----------|----------|
| Knowledge about programing, electronics and digital fabrication | Final project to much ambitious |
| Experiencing and testing new processes | Time managment |
|| Need to do: include Bluetooth, Calibrate the sensors and Test it on water |
# Future
For the future, this catamaran shoul be tested in a context of researh and education and should be controlled by radio and GPS (using **Opensource** projects available online, like ROS and ARDUPILOT), Integrate video, include the transport of a inner platform, test the possibility of use cardboard to make the hulls, include security buttons to stop the operation and assembly a solar pannel. Hope that in ficve years this project will achieve a very robust phase.
