We recently completed QRB2 with positive reviews and valuable feedback around our testing plans. It was an excellent opportunity for us to present our project and receive feedback from fellow IPPD coaches. Just recently, we acquired our blank PCB designs and can finally start assembling all the electronic components onto the PCBs.
We’ve also made significant progress on the mainboard construction for the sensing system. We’ve updated the pseudocode for the sensors from the previous prototype to the new one, improving the sensing system’s precision and accuracy. We’ve also updated the user manual outline to match typical device manuals, ensuring that users will be able to use our product easily.
We’ve attached the gantry belt and completed all parts’ construction, except for the sensor housing. Our team has finalized the stepper motor code structure, which utilizes a universal g-code sender. We’re pleased with the results and confident that it will perform well in our testing.
Our team has been working diligently on completing the PCB construction, finishing the sensor code for value reading, printing the sensor casing for the gantry, and checking the stepper motor speed with the cart test setup for human use measurements.
