Alex Xu’s status report for 12/5/2020

Since the last update, I’ve been going back and forth between TechSpark and my home nearly constantly, and I think I’ve had a 3D printing job always running. But after these past 14 days, we finally have a shell that wasn’t marred by the TechSpark printers and a working servo motor horn (thanks to TA Mobolaji for helping with some prints!). I’ve also added extra LED functionality for the final project as an indicator for the user. I’m excited to put everything together, and we’ve spent the time since Monday’s demo making sure that our final video will showcase the project well and that our final slides reflect our testing we’ve been doing.

Open issues: now that everything physical has been finished, all that’s left are the slide deck, video, and final live presentation.

Photos: final shell design, examples of printer issues 🙁
