Coming into 2021, we moved out of the design phase, and had all of our parts purchased. Now, we had to make sure that they all worked and can be integrated together.
First Prototype
Wired up prototype
With that wired up, I proceeded to write classes for each of them to test them out in Python. This meant reading from the temperature sensor, controlling both the pump and the servo motor and of course, accessing the camera feed. With all the components individually working, it was time to mechanically and electrically assmeble them together and work on the final solution.
Below are videos of each component working.
