Agenda:
- Audio stereo live streaming to improve clarity
- 3D printed new transceiver holder with gear to run the servo motor
Task accomplished:
- Audio stereo live streaming to improve clarity
- 3D printed new transceiver holder with gear to run the servo motor
- Design and 3D print slip ring holder
- Continue to code for signal strength
We tested and checked the audio stereo live streaming and 3D printed new transceiver holder with gears to run the servo motor. We printed different versions of transceiver holders and finally settled on the following after printing and trying out the different versions.
Screenshot of final design of 3D design for gear system and transceiver holder
The above designs for the transceiver holder and gear system works best because the gear on top of the servo motor is smaller than the one turning the transceiver so more and faster turns on the servo motor gear will cause a smaller angular but more stable rotation of the gear of the transceiver holder. We tried the different designs and the one in the screenshot above gave the most stable and best rotation with the least friction and least number of times when the gears actually got stuck. 🤔
And… we are off to our CNYang Freshmen Orientation Camp for most of the next week but we have to be back to settle the final details and ensure that things do work in case of hiccups. 😵
