This week, Judy, Khairah, and Sophie are continuing to solder the complete circuit onto regular PCB boards. Their current iteration of the circuit has 20 clear RGB LEDs and 4 LED drivers. They have tested the circuit using an Arduino UNO, and a laptop as the power source and have proved that it is functional….

We presented the following poster to Dr. Walker and our peer team, LumaSil, and received feedback on our designs. We created a new CAD design for the dome scaffolding and a battery casing. We also mounted a 20-LED circuit using the RGB LEDs and LED drivers to the dome and planned and ordered parts for a battery…

Anna and Sophie procured a new larger headset that will be able to accommodate the dome more easily. The new headset is made for phones that are up to 6.5” diagonally, which is much bigger than the previous headset. Anna hollowed out the headset and performed the needed measurements in order to position the dome…

We presented the following presentation to Dr. Walker and our peer team, LumaSil, and received feedback on our designs. The housing team intends to purchase a larger headset to accommodate the dome better and will make changes to the dome’s design as needed. The electronics team will rewire their circuit and edit their Arduino code to accommodate 4-pin RGB…
