Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Current setback is waiting for the Dino-lite usb microscope to arrive and be confirmed as a valid instrument
Confirming this will allow overall system integration between the USB camera and the mounting bracket
LED Filters are continuing being developed. Fully functioning housed prototype should be completed by end of this week
Tracking software running into minor issues. Concerns regarding camera resolution will impact development
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Mounting bracket prototype 3D printed and fabricated from acrylic. Further tests at BD site confirmed correct dimensions (Carlos)
LED Filter Insert development continued (Daniel)
Adafruit USB microscope tested on-site and determined to lack appropriate resolution (Kevin)
Laser tracking software started (Justin)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Aluminum mounting bracket will be fabricated and assembled (Carlos & Kevin)
LED Filter Insert 3D printed and further tested (Daniel)
Receive and confirm usability of Dino-lite microscope camera and determine rehousing (Kevin)
