This week, I continued to work on both the gantry assembly as well as the Flash website. We worked on assembly early in the week before realizing we needed to make some adjustments to the 3D printed parts. We needed to order filament which arrived on Friday. 3D printing wrapped up today, so tomorrow, I will be going in to hopefully assemble the gantry structure tomorrow.
On the software side, I made more progress by adding a logging feature that records each upload and its corresponding PDF-to-G-code conversion result. This will help us track performance and debug any issues once the hardware integration begins.
Our goal this week is to finish assembling the gantry and begin testing full integration with the web upload to the motor control. Since we actually worked on building and seeing how it will come together, I am optimistic that the gantry will be running as we intend to for the demo.
