 +=== Building Process ===

 +To illustrate the process the team made some pictures while building the prototype. Figure {{ref>bs1}} and figure {{ref>bs2}} show the 3D printing, figure {{ref>fp}} shows the final prototype and, because the electronics are hidden in the prototype, figure {{ref>el}} shows the electronics.

 ==== - Conclusion ==== ==== - Conclusion ====
-//Provide here the conclusions of this chapter and introduce the next chapter.//+The project development was from the first drafts and modules until the final tests clear structured and well going.   
 + 
 +This chapter had addressed the logo and the software, besides some unexpected changes in the software part, satisfactory.   
 +The electronics and the architecture needed to be changed several times until every detail fits to the requirements and in the end both were suiting perfectly to the initial vision.  
 + 
 +The electronic components and the material had been selected carefully and the tests show that the selection was successful. The team cannot trace the issues with the watertightness to the material decision but to the quality of the printing.  
 +The next section concludes the whole project.

-The main objective of the project was to motivate and unite the Team around the development of Aquality's proof of concept prototype, while improving the active learning and soft skills of each member.

-The product under development is user-friendly, features Internet connection and is self-sustainable in terms of power. The user-friendly application and the information it provides is unique as far as the team knows. Because of trends in pool management and worlds constant thrive for a greener future, the potential market is expanding.+The product under development is user-friendly, features internet connection and is self-sustainable in terms of power. The user-friendly application and the information it provides is unique as far as the team knows. Because of trends in pool management and worlds constant thrive for a greener future, the potential market is expanding.
  
-Regarding the collaborative learning and teamwork, maintaining the motivation and unity of the Team was not always an easy task. The differences in culture, study fields and personalities can lead to frictions within the team. In the case of the Aquality's Team, none of the latter issues surfaced because the Team members were determined, but flexible. The acquired project management skills helped to allocate tasks, meet deadlines and achieve the goals of the project. +Regarding the collaborative learning and teamwork, maintaining the motivation and unity of the team was not always an easy task.

-Quoting Sten Pajula, who was responsible for the electronics and coding of prototype, "The overall experience of the project has been positive. The weekly meetings with the supervisors and Team members made the semester pass seamlessly. The Team had the project deadlines always under control and constant progress was a result of well structured work, which would have been much harder without supportive supervisors and lectures. In this semester, I have learned the basics of product development, marketing and improved the knowledge in my study field".+Quoting Sten Pajula, who was responsible for the electronics and coding of prototype, "The overall experience of the project has been positive.

 Further development is necessary to transform the prototype into a product ready for release into the designated markets. The Aquality prototype is constrained by the time, budget, insufficient knowledge in some technical areas and lack of experience in product development. The following aspects should be considered for future development: Further development is necessary to transform the prototype into a product ready for release into the designated markets.
