Goal: Prepare the final product
Allison:
Assembling the physical PCB
cut outline
drilled holes for soldering
Samantha:
Once Claire is done prototyping, assembling the final head market model
Add the team/project logo onto the PCB design
Claire:
Prototype the marketing head display
Figure out how to hook up Vref to the rest of the PCB
Finishing MATLAB testing
Team accomplishment:
Samantha: Contributed to manufacturing & assembling the head display and began updating the website for the showcase
Allison: CNC-ed the final PCB with the brain outline and pads
Claire: Finished the marketing head display
Designer: Claire in Fusion360 & Fusion360 Slicer
Assembly & Manufacturing: Claire / Samantha / Mr. Rojas in Auto CAD, Gloforge
Goal:
Finalize the head model
What was actually accomplished?
Team laser-cut all the parts
Samantha finished gluing the last couple of plywood pieces and sanded down the blue acrylic to make gluing it to the plywood easier.
Claire and Mr. Rojas assembled the final product by using a drill and layering the PCB first and placing the acrylic face on first.
Problems Run Into:
Original and intended screws were hard to implement into the model and too long.
Solved this with wood screws that Mr. Rojas had available.
Certain parts with the numbering that were cut and not scored were easy to break during the assembly process
Goal for next week
N/A: This portion of the project is FINISHED
Lead: Allison w/ Final PCB
Progress:
Finished the new CNC job as the former job paths weren't aligned.
The holes drilled were too large and intersected the pathways, resulting in shorts. The team agreed that it was unfeasible to CNC an entirely new PCB and would display the current PCB as is, but it wouldn't be soldered or functional.
