Marco’s Status Report, 2022/10/08

This week, I gave our design review presentation. Before that, I met with the team to prepares our slide deck and go over some dry runs of the presentation. We received our parts for the proof of concept build earlier this week. That included solenoids, MOSFET transistors, and the shift registers we’ll be using to control all 69 solenoids later in the build. I’ve been CADing a boot for the solenoids that will allow the solenoids to rest higher above the keys and reach the keys better. Alongside that I’ll be writing some Arduino sketches to practice working with the shift registers.
