This week we are on track and focused on our goal for what we want to show in our demo. There is no design change at the time. For our demo, our goal is show a functioning Tesseract read a series of label images. For the mechanical side, we will show the functioning pin selector and the first half of the wheel mechanism. We started splitting the work with Bella and Francesca continuing to work in the lab and Abby working in TechSpark. We additionally work towards creating a final design for the handle of the device, figuring out the best orientation of the components.
There were some issues with the Raspberry Pi booting with CMU wifi, but when brought home, it functioned with home wifi. A possible issue could be ensuring the device will continue to function without wifi. The 3D prints (about a third of the device) only took about 90 minutes to print, so there will be no issue with timing when needing to create multiple iterations of the prototype.
