Zeynep’s Status Report for 11/4

This week, I focused on finishing the web-app and integrating it with the back-end, fabricating solenoid enclosures, and testing the solenoid control circuit for demo. Since last week, I added the ability to display the product information on the web-app based on information return from the back-end. I also had a few bugs with my buttons and page refreshes  that I fixed. I received my first fabricated enclosure for the solenoids, but it had a few issues so I adjusted my enclosure design and sent it out to be printed again. Because we switched from controlling the hardware with a RPi to controlling with an arduino via uart, I had did testing on the solenoid control circuit with an arduino and sent it signals over the serial monitor. Each solenoid command will correspond to an embossed braille character. I am currently testing the speed we can run the solenoids at.
