Updates:
-Jeff says we will only need one Digital Side car!! So we'll be sacrificing one conveyor belt sensor.
Burlone's Marching Orders:
-Interface with Mechanical for Sensor mounts
-->Limit Switches ---> Done-ish
-->Banner Sensor ---> Need adjustablility (for the time being until we finalize)
-->Encoder for top spinner (Shooter) --> Precise mounting
-->Mouse ---> Talk to Josh Gannon
-->Omron ---> Need Adjustment for the time being until we finalize (again)
-Interface with mechanical about where the board gets mounted on the hopper (again) --the lower, the better
-Talk to programming tonight (Off time to cut up wires / transfer components)
-Measure wire lengths in inventor / route in inventor
-Make protective cover for electrical board-- make sure it fits in inventor!
--How do we want to mount this?
--Should we velcro it? Bolt? Think about it; if you're in pitcrew, and you have velcro, you have to fight a little to tear it off because accessing. If you bolt it-- you have to unbolt it one by one, which will take longer. Crystal suggested hinging it maybe, that wouldn't be a bad idea, so it's a flipping access that's easy. Oranges thinks we should velcro and screw a few just for field safety.
-Work on Mice
-Weight (again) and give to Mr. Kanzler
Ideas for making the board pretty:
-Drill holes in the lexan and wire below?
