Last night the 3D printing file for the base of the Launcher was submitted for fabrication. The final stages of our project have begun. Things that Team JAD have completed up until this point:
- A 3D printed model of the base of the Launcher
- The coding for the Arduino circuit board is completed
- A semi-final model (only missing the 3D printed base) has been completed
- A video of the prototype in action
As an overview of the project progress this semester, we had a couple difficulties:
1. The design of the base for the Launcher started out as some duct tape on a piece of cardboard, and getting to a final design took some work.
2 .The coding for the Arduino software did not go smoothly at first, but with a lot of time put into it, the Launcher responds to commands as it should.
Overall, only two design problems (neither too catastrophic) were encountered during this project.
Another post on the whereabouts and times of the Design Expo will be posted shortly.
