Mechanical/Electrical

• Looking like 16 sensors per shelf at the moment
  • We only own 16 so we’re going to have to order more
• Thinking of doing ribbon cable for the sensor wires
• Might need a new jig to test the sensors
  • We want to make sure it gives us accurate enough data that we can determine when one object is removed
• Using a 3D printed plate might cause the plate to bend and cause inaccurate weight measurements
• We have the model so we should make a full-scale model ASAP as possible
  • Even if it’s just one subdivision that would be perfect
  • We really need to get a good idea of what we’re working with

Diagram: single shelf divided into subdivisions, each subdivision containing 4 load cells

Woodworking Stuff

• We’ve been meeting with the alumni and it sounds like we might be able to move forward
• His availability matches up with ours around Spring Break, so that’s when this will be manufactured
  • This is good, gives us a chance to finalize the model
• Door?
  • Idk we can figure it out later

AI and Vision

• Old Jetson is set up down the hall
• New Jetson was ordered yesterday (2/20/24), should come sometime this week
• Logan send a YOLO script
  • Tried running it on the old Jetson, missing some dependencies but we might be able to get it to run?
  • Script is meant for the Jetson Nano anyways so when that arrives we should be able to run it on that
• MongoDB has been made
  • Rough idea of how we’re going to store descriptors
