Weekly Update (Week 7)

This week we decided to remove the Arduino from our project and replace it with a raspberry pi. We tried to run the code from the raspberry pi itself, but we had issues with getting the code to run at the desired speed due to the limited processing power. So we made a script to spin the motor that lives on the raspberry pi and we are using sending ssh commands to the pi from the imaging processing script running on an external computer.

Next, we made a stand for the camera to sit on our platform.

Now we just have to get our dish holder printed and make a case for the raspberry pi and the motor so the exposed circuitry is cut down. Next week we hope to run tests.
