- Started detailing the dragon head
- Began building the neck structure
- Created circuit diagrams
- Ultransonic problems
- Latex and 3-D printed parts are here!
Hey!
Kate started detailing Mario's head and finished scaling one side of his face. The head is coming along wonderfully and Kate will go to buy the plaster molds this weekend at Plaza!
Also, James started working on the circuit diagram, including the ultrasonic sensors, servo motors, and DC motors and showing how they will connect to the Arduino Uno board.
Pete started building the neck structure out of K'nex and thinking about how the motor will attach to this structure to lift the head off the ground.
Meanwhile, Gary, Arjun, and I are still running into the same problems with running two ultrasonic sensors and two LEDs on the same breadboard. One of the LEDs always stays on. We are trying to find a way around this issue by connecting two LEDs to one pin on the Arduino instead of one pin for each LED. It's a work in progress.
On a more positive note, the latex Professor Terranova ordered came in today! Also, the 3-D printed part for the dragon's jaw came in today and it looks fantastic. One problem that we may run into later is the size difference between the clay jaw and the 3-D printed one. Hopefully, the sizing will be manageable, if not, Gary will resize and print the parts.
