Printed and implementing the test harness

We decided to use MDF for our prototype and implement our sensors right away. This was worth it it because the price difference form Foamcore and MDF was not significant to our the remainder of our funds.

Solidworks Model

Progress 11/16/14

• got farther with the mechanical design with the help from visualization of the 3d model
• soldered the IR sensors on perfboard
• made templates for the sub state machine for future implementation
• started interfacing the IR sensor

pins were chosen to be close to each other to simplify the process of connection and debugging in the future.
