Initial Phase
When we began developing our automated titration machine, ensuring consistent color detection was a key priority. Initially, we thought a black box would best isolate light, but after experimenting, we found that a white box with a ring light offered better light diffusion and more accurate color readings.
Choosing the right camera was another challenge. After trying various webcams and even a smartphone camera, we found that a high-quality 1440p camera delivered the precision needed for detecting subtle color changes during titration.
To ensure stability, we built a wooden stand for the stepper motor, preventing any unintended movement during operation.
We’ve encountered some technical hiccups with malfunctioning components but are running tests to resolve these issues and ensure the apparatus performs reliably.
As we continue refining the design, we’re excited about the progress and look forward to sharing more updates soon, so stay tuned!
Prototype
To further enhance the output accuracy of our titration machine, we build our own camera set-up that circumvents the problem of parallax error! You can find more details about our inspiration and design philosophy under Development section!
