This week I created the parts that will hold the motor stable while it raises the laptop stand. This required precise measurements of our current design. The final pictures of these pieces are shown below. I also re-worked the motor code for both the height motor and the linear actuators so that it will work with the new library. In addition, I got started on implementing serial communication between the laptop and the stand as this is part of our MVP for the interim demo. Using serial communication will make it easier to communicate between the software and the stand for the demo, but we will rework this using the Bluetooth code i wrote earlier for the final product. I plan on having the serial communication finished and tested by next week, as well as the code for the stepper motor and the linear actuator fully tested, and I am back on schedule.
