This week I did more refining on our stylus housing. I allocated a bit more room for the internal components since the fit was tight on the last iteration, and I also changed the tip shape to resemble more of a pencil shape. I also added a sliding latch on the back of the pen so that the two halves of the stylus can be held together better, and I extended the length to have a more comfortable hold. My goal right now is to make sure that all components fit well and the writing feels comfortable, then I will reduce the weight of the housing by hollowing out some of the material.
This week I focused more on iterating the housing since we’re still waiting on the optical sensor and pressure sensors to arrive. Both sensors should be in by early next week, so by the interim demo I will have basic functionality of the conversion module with the physical optical sensor and pressure sensor ready. I will take a step back from working on the housing when our sensors and PCB are in, since that is our most major delay.
