This week the SurgiGauge team made massive progress by finalizing and ordering the PCBs for the attachments. Prior to putting the finishing touches on the design, the team had put together a breadboard circuit representation to ensure everything is working as intended. The test circuit showed issues with the current battery design, which was addressed prior to ordering the PCBs.
Despite dodging the bullet when ordering the last major component, the team still faces hurdles as they test the sensors and prepare for the adjustments that will need to be made. Additional testing is underway, as a full prototype is nearing completion. The housing was adjusted for the electrical changes and printed. A few cut outs with the PCBs’ dimensions were fit tested in the new housing to ensure seamless integration.
The team and the housing eagerly awaits the arrival of the PCBs and the completion of the 1st full prototype!
