This past week was primarily focused on preparing for and presenting at the interim demos. I made a few last-minute adjustments and ensured the capacitive touch grids were functioning as intended. Due to Carnival Week, I wasn’t able to make significant visual or hands-on progress, but I did spend time planning the next steps.
Specifically, I began evaluating materials for the next iteration of the 9×9 grid and started designing how all the components of the project will come together in a cohesive system. I also ordered acrylic sheets for laser cutting to begin prototyping an enclosure. Some initial design work has been completed for the enclosure, though it will require further iteration.
Goals for this upcoming week:
-
Finalize and test a properly functioning 9×9 capacitive touch grid with consistent and accurate touches.
-
Continue iterating on the overall cohesive design of the project.
-
Review and possibly incorporate feedback received during the interim demo into the next design phase.
