We worked on soldering an extra motor shield for our project's ardunio,
We also discussed many aspects of our project, including:
- A decision based on the classes in progress crit to NOT pop the balloon, but let it go outside
- A quick internet search, and a phone call to Party City about bio-degradable balloons (apparently all latex balloons are bio-degradable)
- The use of an electrical cord to assist our motor and where those plugs can be found outside
- Setting up a gear system to rotate a spool and release the string attached to the balloon
-How the data we receive from the Mindflex will rotate the motor, and the use of a DC motor instead of a stepper motor
- Using a lightweight and bio-degradable string attached to the balloon, probably Raffia (which is very available right now b/c of it being the fall season)
-The design of a box to cover motor and make it look prettier
-The ordering of an extra long (16ft) USB cable so that the person wearing the headset has mobility while still being plugged in
-Our schedule of times to meet up until the due date
-Our own personal to-do lists
I have been the official note-taker for the group, I will upload some sketches, diagrams, lists and other pages from my notebook soon!
