Early this week and at the end of last, I worked on the presentation slides. Specifically I did the requirements, technical challenges, and formulated the schedule. Later in the week I worked with Ethan to create the bill of materials. He focused mostly on the small gantry, so I confirmed his part list and then worked on the rest of the system. I ended with a list of parts that I’m sure we will need, though there are still some more that we need more testing to confirm on.
We remain on the planned schedule, and assuming we get these parts ordered shortly, we should be on target.
Next week, I plan on setting up the Raspberry Pi and Arduino so they are ready for us to use them. Depending on when the motors arrive, I may also start on configuring them to work properly with the Arduino.
