This week I reviewed design presentations and helped to work on ours.
After receiving parts and creating the design presentation I was able to start conceptualizing the size, material, and general design of the housing that will hold LiPo batteries and the Raspberry Pi. At the moment the box will be laser cut out of wood with the interior and exterior in aluminum foil to keep the internal temperature steady while preventing the proximity to the fire from increasing the internal temperature.
I also helped to test the amplifier using a power supply, wave generator, and an oscilloscope. Learning how to hook everything up and power it took a decent amount of time on Saturday but we ran at least 1 successful test with the amp.
