We're Almost There

We're Almost There!!!
 
 
 
Today's Challenges
Today we have hit that monumental moment of trying to cram all of our arduino components into the 3D part. We've quickly realized that since the initial design of our 3D part our arduino arrangements have changed slightly therefore making it hard to fit everything inside. A video is shown that displays our current setup. It was challenging getting our breadboards and our redboards to sit still during the process of trying to put every part into its designated place.
 
Future Challenges
The next challenge is placing the wires so that they are tucked away and not visible. We also need to add extensions that make the buttons and potentiometer more accessible (because as of now they are awkwardly tucked away). When we get together next, we will have super glue, tape, cardboard as well as other helpful adhesives and structures to secure all of our components into the case. Once all of the components are secured, we need to add a back and a bottom to the case. These parts were unable to be 3D printed due to our constriction to 4 cubic inches so we will need to improvise.
