Anirud’s Status Report for 04/27
This week: I encountered several challenges while debugging the Sensor Matrix. After identifying and fixing a short in the mux-select lines and re-wiring, I individually tested all the PCBs, which … Read More “Anirud’s Status Report for 04/27”
Team Status Report for 4/27
Current Risks: More problems arise upon integration of all project modules Catastrophic failure of a component or set of components before demo Damage to PCBs or Arduino’s during capacitor soldering … Read More “Team Status Report for 4/27”
Luca’s Status Report for 4/27
This Week: This week I put the finishing touches on the gantry. This mainly included laser cutting wood and attaching it to the frame. While this sounds trivial at worst, … Read More “Luca’s Status Report for 4/27”
Callum’s Status Report for 4/20
This Week: Debugging and troubleshooting: Lots of it. This week, Anirud and I encountered significant problems with reading Arduino values. After wiring and rewiring, many of these problems were solved … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 4/20”
Anirud’s Status Report for 4/20
This Week: This week, we encountered several challenges with shorts in our connections due to initial wiring issues. After multiple revisions, we’ve successfully improved the setup. The small wires extending … Read More “Anirud’s Status Report for 4/20”
Team Status Report for 4/20
Current Risks: Cables aren’t resilient enough and begins shearing. Debugging this would be very difficult as they are long cables. The arduino and other hardware doesn’t fit in the allotted … Read More “Team Status Report for 4/20”
Luca’s Status Report for 4/20
This Week: This week, I spent a lot of time printing the (hopefully) last components. This includes both the cable snakes (for routing cables to the moving gantry) and the … Read More “Luca’s Status Report for 4/20”
Team Status Report for 04/06
Significant Risks and Management Strategies: Our primary risks include technical challenges in integration, potential mechanical failures, and ensuring precise control over the moving parts. We are managing these risks through … Read More “Team Status Report for 04/06”
Callum’s Status Report for 04/06
This Week: Bundled cables for matrix output – this was changed on Wednesday to a hard-wired design with temporary spacers shown below. Soldered PCBs together giving us a much more … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 04/06”
