Progress: I was out of town for a bit of last week and the weekend so I was only able to work on TinkerCAD and I’ve almost finalized my design for the housing, I just need to add some finishing touches. I took Marianne’s idea of angling the range finder housing and it looks pretty good, it’s just a little deceiving since it looks so big but it’s actually in millimeters. Also my power boost came in the mail today so I’ll be able to work on finalizing my soldering with finishing up the power component.
Issues: The only big issue was my lack of free time to work on this the past week, but on the bright side there is not much left other than finishing the housing and printing it and soldering the last bits. We’ll see if the electronics cause any issues this week and if I need to do any last minute pivoting.
This Week: I’m looking to solder my power component in on Tuesday, which shouldn’t take too long. Then hopefully I can also finish up my housing design and get the process to print it in motion in case I need to do any changes from the first design. I said last week that I want to have it complete by Thursday and I’m still optimistic that I can meet that deadline but it all depends on what roadblocks I get with the final electronic product and if my TinkerCAD design is correct.
