    Failed 3D Print

    Henry Gu and Wuyan Li

    Something was wrong with our design file that resulted in this. We also need to increase the size of our design for the printer to produce the small details on the sides of the staple.

    The image looks very blurry and dark due to an issue with the CCI Camera that day.

    01/24 Updates on Water Collector

    Andrew Jiakang Feng and Oliver Zhang

    *Image files were corrupted

    Updates: 

    - Finished on both of the laser-cut acrylic boxes (One for electronics, One for water collection)

    - Arduino and Hardware are functional, we just need to work on the angles and placements to maximize the solenoid effects 

    - Leaves are coming along (just waiting for Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic coating) 

    Summary: Operation Beetle Collector is almost complete! Many of the things we need to work on are just time variables and decorations to enhance the quality and function of our collector. After we finalize the leaves with a hydrophobic and hydrophilic coating, we will be done. Friday will be used to put everything together. 

    01/24 Code 2

    Oliver Zhang and Andrew Jiakang Feng
      if(time>=T&&time<=T+2){
        digitalWrite(A0,HIGH);
      }else if(time>=T+3&&time<=T+4){
        digitalWrite(A0,LOW);
      }else if(time>=T+5&&time<=T+6){
        digitalWrite(A0,HIGH);
      }else if(time>T+6){
        time=0;
        digitalWrite(A0,LOW);
      }else{
        digitalWrite(A0,LOW);
      }

    01/24 Final Code

    Oliver Zhang and Andrew Jiakang Feng
    void setup() {
      pinMode(A0,OUTPUT);
      pinMode(A1,INPUT);
      pinMode(7,OUTPUT);
      pinMode(8,OUTPUT);
    }
    int water=0;
    int time=0;
    void loop() {
      water=analogRead(A1);
      if(water>600){
        time=0;
        digitalWrite(8,HIGH);
        digitalWrite(7,LOW);
      }else{
        digitalWrite(7,HIGH);
        digitalWrite(8,LOW);
      }
      time+=1;
      if(time>=9000&&time<=9001){
        digitalWrite(A0,HIGH);
      }else if(time>52){
        time=0;
        digitalWrite(A0,LOW);
      }    else{
        digitalWrite(A0,LOW);

    Today, we finished the prototype of the armadillo backpack and we begin to work on the final project now. We got the mechanics of the backpack done, which are the two motors on both sides.

    Lasercutted Cardboard Honeycombs

    Yuan Bin Su and Ganghun Kim

    This is our honeycombs design on laser cut. It does not work.
