On Tuesday, we finished our connection from the main PCB to the Arduino shield. Originally, we were going to to striped the IDE ribbon cable and solder it on the Arduino shield. However, we found out the wires are to weak to be secured on the shield. Instead, we connected the IDE ribbon cable to a IDE socket on the shield. This is more secured and easier to disassemble and reassemble the connection.  In addition, we purchased a 3 meter long L shaped aluminum from the machine shop and attached to our platform as it will be our side guard.

On Thursday, we fully tested our PCB circuit with all components attached to it. It is fully functional, however, we need to re-collaborate our scale to obtain a new equation. Furthermore, we also received our ramp from the machine shop. We still need to buy the side guard for the ramp and  multiple hinges to attached the ramp to the base.

On Saturday, we finished the design for our circuit box and attached it to the pole. We also filmed the remaining part of our video. We still need to put in some ppt slides in the video, and we are expecting to be done by next Tuesday. In addition, we also started preparing the draft for poster, and it will be sent by next Tuesday.

Today, we also received our ramp from the machine shop
