As a team, we focused on user testing, testing the accuracy and speed of our web app, and assembly of the embosser device. This includes debugging the stepper motor and arduino circuit, assembling the electrical and mechanical components of the board. We have also had a user testing session to test the quality of the braille, the embosser device, and the web app. Looking to next week, we are focusing on completing assembly of the device and working on our final presentations
Other notable team events include:
- PCB’s arriving and not working
- A4988 motor controller issues making it hard to control direction. switched to l298n and had no problem with stepper motor control
- Got necessary step measurements for printing braille
- Got feedback on both our physical device and software at the Library of Accesible Media for Pennsylvanian’s blind user focus group.
- Ran database tests
