During the last week we (regional group: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam) had to ask Neil if the chemical etching process is allowed for the electronic assignments because Brussels has problems with the small milling machine.
From the prep-meeting video of the 23rd of Feb (at the end of the video), Neil's answer was:
"the answer is that they need to do both, they need to go somewhere to machine because we want them to have that as a skill because we want them to be able to machine without chemical waster setup, so... they do need to show both.
they can do all of their boards for the class with etching, but for the main pcb fabassignment they do need to show mastery in machining. so for that assignment they need to go somewhere else, its not your […]
i wanna make sure they know how to make pcb without chemical waste.”
It means that the students in brussels are allowed to chemically etch the weekly projects.
I think this is a kind of special case/condition.
I wonder: should we write down these kind of situations somewhere?
There is the chance it will happen again to some other labs/students and it would be handy to keep note of the answers.

I can't find the description of how to manage a group final project.
Maybe we can add it to the FAQ.
Development of a group final project:
- each student of the group need to prove mastery of the skills gained during the program.
- each student need to develop a part of the whole project with: her/his own design, include a fabbed input device and an output device of your own design, include other components made with additive and subtractive techniques, include 2D and 3D design elements
Final presentation of a group final project:
- each student has to make a specific slide that shows the parts developed by her/him
- one single shared slide for all the students is not good, the slide has to show what the student has made.
- video....

**2 steps process:
*mill the wax mould
*cast the wax mould
**3 steps process:
*mill the wax mould
*first cast to get a silicon mould
*second cast of the silicon mould.
Are both the processes allowed?https://gitlab.fabcloud.org/academany/fabacademy/2018/docs/FabAcademy-Assessment/-/issues/7Electronic Design - design rules2018-02-05T06:18:21ZfibasileElectronic Design - design rules*Created by: emmapa*

Bas: Networking needs to be more clearly defined here.
Like expressing the need to have multiple controllers communicating using addressing.
Francisco: you mean making ID addressing a mandatory requirement? I am reviewing the video
aboth at the beginning and at the end where Neil talks about the assignment. He said two processors
at least to talk and no mention about the ID addressing. Although I remember he made a comment
about it sometime in the class.
Bas: i have been trying to get Neil to make this more clear. the whole point of networking is that you
can have multiple processors talk to each other, I2C is networking, SPI (without the chip select) is not.
definitely further discussion required..

This came out as an evolution of the abuse of the combined input and output boards combined with the abuse of fabduinos.
* How many boards do you need to design and fabricate to show mastery of the skills?
* Does a modular/shield (with no microcontroller) count towards a board?
* Does a not-designed-nor-modified fabduino count towards a board?

That is the cause that there are currently obsolete processes explained in the Handbook and missing new processes. Also only some of the processes from handbook are in fab academy.org. This breaks the principle of unique and truthful information and leads to confusion. Recommended to either:
- Move (not copy) the fabacademy.org info into the handbook and give Coordination access to edit
- Move the handbook to fab academy website (we loose github advantages)
- Somehow sync both sources of information in an automated way
