Today everyone was in class. We soldered our Raspberry pie wires to our other battery pack. After the soldering we worked on 3D printing a iPhone holder to hook on the side of our box. We decided on keeping  the battery packs instead of using a electric wire. We might have 2-3 iPhone holders that we will 3D print that can ether charge, or enhance music sound coming from the phone. Our next goal will be to program our conversation pieces on the raspberry pie. We also decide that we will use a touch screen instead of the LED screen we have currently. In 3 hours our first iPhone holder will be printed. We also will create a new box out of the laser cutter soon and add some designed on the sides. We also need to 3D print holders for the raspberry pie and battery packs. We talked about making the box acrylic with a color pice on the inside so it glows when its working. We would need 6 pieces of acrylic with translucent colored pieces. On Friday we will look at colored acrylic pieces online. 

 

Notes:

Keep film on when laser cutting

Amazon has colored acrylic pieces. 

Make colored pieces smaller than clear pieces

Charging dock might not work by the end of the demo

Lowes will cut big acrylic pieces for us 12in by 12in 

Laser cutter is 3 feet by 2 feet
