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
- Create and route the jumpers from the AD/C to the Arduino and then from the Arduino to the rpi.
- Begin designing and creating custom movement patterns on the 3-D printer for the pour patterns.
Status Report: On schedule
