This week the team focused on continuing work on the physical hardware of the system as well as finalizing our circuit design for all of our electrical systems that we are hardware hacking. A final product for the water pump mount was printed in HTPLA and checked to make sure it fits with the gantry system. Work was also started on the software side of things, with the GitHub repo and initial web app structure being developed. Integration of the scale into the project has begun as well.
Our biggest challenge coming up is ensuring our PCB will have good integration with the off-the-shelf components that we have. According to our design spec and theoretical testing, it should work fine, but we will have to wait for real-world testing to ensure that. We are currently waiting for the PCB to arrive so that we can do this.
We are currently on track.
