Status Quo

Now that our team has a clearer idea of our project, we have sub-divided our members into two smaller groups in an effort to make more progress. One group is focusing on primarily on the programming aspect of the project. The other sub-group is working on the mechanism and initial prototype.

The prototype subgroup consists of myself, Michael, Josiah and Brieana. We have simplified our objectives for the first prototype to mainly address the general construction of the support structure that houses our servos, wires, and LEDs, and the "flaps"or "blinds" that will be controlling the amount of light allowed to enter our desired space. We will be utilizing the CNC routers to route out our components from plywood. Once assembled we will link up with the programming group to hook up are sensor arrays and test the system.
