This week our group is working together on the proposal presentation. We prepared the presentation slides together. After the presentation we also spend some time considering and discussing the feedbacks and questions we get after the presentation. We decided that our proposal is mostly reasonable and does not need major changes, and spend some time on the details of our designs.
We also spend some time on preparing the list of components we need to order. As I have taken Embedded Systems, I was looking for stepper motor. After discussing with our team, we have also decided to replace the robot arm with solenoids, as they both serve the same functions but solenoids are much simpler. I spent some time reading data sheet and looking up information about solenoid online before making the decision. Here is a link to our list of components:
Currently our group is on schedule.
Next week, we plan to get components ordered by Wednesday. Our team will also be working on the design presentation throughout the week.
