This week we’ve pretty much finalized the physical design of our project. We began work on creating the first fully-realized prototype. We found that the way we created the cutout and blacked-out the rest of the frame gave jagged edges and impacted how much of the card we could get into the image field. So we started work on modifying a new card shoe (which we ordered this week). This time we painted the underside instead of using black tape:
We will likely drill holes tomorrow for both camera cutout and the standoff locations for the pcb. Speaking of the PCB, I’ve begun work on a first draft. I hope to have something ready to order early this week so it can be shipped and return in time for our interim demo in two weeks!
