This week I tried to use a perfboard for our other electronic parts, which is mainly the isolation circuit for our solenoids. My dad attempted to tell me that it would be impossible to solder due to its detail.
On Thursday, I decided that the Arduino shield would be better, as we could directly attach it to our Arduino board. I have finished soldering the components to attach it to the board, but need to add our isolation circuit. Unfortunately, I have trouble using my dad's soldering iron with our project. I may have to finish this in the last class.
For now, I am trying to use a different program to make a schematics for our isolation circuit. Tiny cad does not work wtih mac, but I found an alternative called EAGLE (link below). Not sure if this is close enough to TinyCad, but it looks very profesional.
Schedule before presentations:
Before finals: Work on presentation board and paper
Tuesday 17: Finish up soldering and assembly with Xavier
Thursday 19: Presentation
Links and stuff:
EAGLE tutorial I used
