This week I prepared our proposal slides for Wednesday’s presentation with John’s help. I met with John on Tuesday to help prepare before the presentation. After the feedback we received, the team and I met to reshape our project timeline on the Gantt chart. We’ve been contacting suppliers for the solenoids and have started gathering quotes. We’re planning on buying a small batch of parts (5 solenoids, some mosfets, etc.) in order to build the proof of concept physical interface.
Going into next week I will be making some concept drawings for the frame, and building a prototype of the circuit that drives the solenoids. Tomorrow, we will be meeting again to discuss any implementation details we have questions about before we work on our individual parts.
