Our demo was on Wednesday, and we were able to demonstrate the printing mechanism and the functionality of our physical devices. Our printer is able to print the necessary card designs using the Raspberry Pi. It taking around 20 seconds to print a card, but we are going to try increasing the speed via decreasing some of the delays.
We’ve also ordered more parts- including a power jack and adapter in order to have the printer be powered by an outlet. Since the lens we ordered is not compatible with our camera module, we also are looking into alternative options.
Since the camera is the main component to our system’s functionality, our integration schedule is a bit behind. In the meantime, we are working on developing and optimizing the individual parts until we can integrate it with the camera.
