Focus Session


The group focus session today was very successful, the fact that all of us had at least some time off allowed us to have a “rolling” focus session that encompassed the whole day.
A trip to Jaycar in Wooloongabba furnished us with the components we would need for our mock-up: soldering iron and solder, a roll of wire and push switches. Before we put these into use, however, we first had to complete the circuitry and coding on the Arduino. I worked primarily on the electronics, Sophie fashioned the mountings for the buttons to be attached to a trolley, and Ann-Maree and Felicity researched programming methods and worked on concepts for the application of the equipment. While the model is far from complete and the electronics still have a lot of work, I feel that today has been a great step forward in terms of progress towards our goal.
