Our progress for the design presentation is on schedule. However, I think we our behind in some research aspects. Specifically, in terms of outreach to members of the blind community.
Next week we hope to gather feedback from CMU’s office of disabilities and the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children, develop a SolidWorks model of the embossing mechanism, and update our block diagram to reflect finalized components.
