Elijah Knupp’s status report for March 16th

This week’s accomplishments

  • Attended mandatory lab
  • Finished the ethical assignment
    • Both the individual and team components
  • Began integrating the scale into the project
    • Deconstructed the scale, and cut the wires to directly wire into the AD/C, which will then be routed to the Arduino. From there, the signal will be sent to the rpi. This week, soldered the wires from the scale to the AD/C. 
  • Established connection between the 3-D printer and octoprint (on the team’s rpi), tested to ensure full control. 

Next weeks plan

  • Finish integrating the scale into the project. 
    • Create and route the jumpers from the AD/C to the Arduino and then from the Arduino to the rpi.
      • Cable management will be important to ensure all wires and components are safe from the gimbal’s movement and any hot water the machine will be producing
  • Begin designing and creating custom movement patterns on the 3-D printer for the pour patterns. 

Status Report: On schedule
