Tuesday:
Build: Improving stability of box, since finger joints are not strong enough on their own, these would be placed on all corners and would be screwed in and secured with nuts, this would secure the walls in place, greatly improving the durability of the box without the need for any adhesives.
We used wood glue to bond the hinge to the ledge, and then the ledge to the wall, the door fits the hole perfectly and opens/closes smoothly, we planned on installing the second door the next day as the glue needs to be clamped for at least 15 minutes, time that we didn't have by the time the first door dried enough though we did glue the second ledge to the second hinge.
Wednesday:
We glued and clamped the second door down, we plan on installing the last components on the backside of the doors later down the line.
The pieces on the right will be attached to the servo horn, extending its reach, and allowing it to function as a lock for our box.
Thursday:
We put together the box and are satisfied with it, we still need a ceiling and have run out of plywood. While the box holds on its own fine any amount of force easily takes it apart, we plan on drilling holes and screwing in our corner pieces which we sent to be 3D printed which should hold the box together.
Build- Developing a voltage divider for 3.3v to bluetooth module instead of 5v from Arduino to increase longevity
Friday:
We still need to 3D print the other latch and install it on the other door.
For next week we plan on installing the ceiling and servo motors. Meanwhile we plan on getting the corner pieces and another latch 3D printed, we will install the latch but we will need to drill holes into the wall pieces so that we can screw on the corner pieces.
