I tried printing out the current iteration of the module design. The 3D printing came out fine, but I need to make changes to the actual design. Currently there is not enough margin between the module piece and module holder for it to fit easily. I would attach a picture, but I do not have the 3d printed pieces on me at the moment.
I also wrote more code for the arduino. This can be seen on our github (https://github.com/amabraha/c3-aquamods-arduino). Most of the changes were refactoring toward generalizing the skeleton john wrote for our use case of interchangeable modules. I’ve also made progress toward our interrupt handler that will keep track of the state of the various rotary encoders that are used by the modules.
I also spent a lot of time doing work on the design report. I think that ended up being most of my Friday.
For next week, I am going to make updates to the CAD designs and print another iteration of the modules so we can see what we need to improve next. I also want to incorporate some of Gloria’s advice for the controller panels and get started on laser printing those. Lastly, I will continue working on the arduino code and integration.
