I was able to get the electric components of the scissor lift mechanism working with the Raspberry Pi. There have been some issues preventing me from being able to get the wood necessary to start building the arms, so I focused on getting the electrical systems; namely the linear stepper motor and distance sensor. I need to build out the mechanical component to know what to set the limits of the stepper motor to. Therefore, my aim next week is to get the wood to cut and assemble the lift and have it working. Due to the unexpected setback, I am a little behind where I would like to have been, but I plan on making the time up this week once the order arrives.
