This week’s accomplishments
- Started the schematic for the custom PCB to process inputs, and power management.
- Determined PCB’s requirements based on what we are already purchasing — that is, the power supply included in the 3D printer, and the externals we need to incorporate.
- Worked on the team’s design presentation by defining the solution, worked on the system block diagram, and PCB design requirements.
Next Week’s Deliverables
- Polish custom PCB design based on design presentation feedback in order to place the first order for our prototype.
- Ensure that step-down circuitry is robust enough for our system’s requirements.
- Incorporate feedback from design presentation into our overall design.
- Work with team to order parts and start hacking once they start to arrive.
