Week 5 Status Report – Mark McKinzie

This week I fabricated 2 embedded resistor poker chips. The five and ten dollar valued chips both individually have the correct resistance value. The new purely plastic chips purchased to replace the chips with a metal center plane allowed the embedded resistor model to function properly. Pictures of the cut chips and fully functional chips are below.

This coming week I will fabricate the $20 chip as well as beginning to test stack values with identical chip values, as well as wiring it to the current shunt and raspberry pi and testing it in that manner. In addition I will fabricate the enclosure for the shuffler and dealer, both using 3D printing for the cylindrical portions and likely acrylic for the rectangular portions if 3D printing is expensive.

The schedule remains on track, as the MVP for chips is fabricated and needs only testing.
