Today we printed one eye for a prototype to work on and kinda get a feel of how the eye should work.  We also are in the middle of producing a base for the eye to work on. I will also continue to work on how to program on Arduino.

Forgot to blog last time. But not too much has occured since my last post. I'm currently working my way through the book C++ programming for dummies. I'm also watching a video about basic programming for Arduino's.

Finished the right base for the eye ball using the PLA.

Started to change the extruder on the Makerbot 2X.

Starting to work on the rest of the parks for the eye ball.

Today I started off with resetting the Replicator 2X so we can get it working again.  We got the Replicator 2 working on printing the frame of the right eye we found on thingiverse. (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:178632).  We continued to repair the X2.  We also are begining to test the 2 to its full capabilities.

Material wise, I believe that PLA is a better material due to its strength and temperature resistance. I like the replicator 2 more then the 2X due to it precision with detail, speed, and dexterity. Carpe Diem I cannot wait to see what we will accomplish with this device. We are currently prototyping.

  Today we started to print out a model of half of our animatronic eye and I will continue to work on learning to program on Arduino to the best of my ability.  Once we get the model printed out the Robotics team will begin to figure out how to simulate eye movements.

I'm still working at the same thing as last time primarily working on getting more comfortable with programming and also learning what the actual meaning behind the code is.

On a secondary note we also got a new member today Noah Francis.He has been working in Maya for a bit so he can be a modeler but he is also working towards learning how to programming

Working towards figuring out how to make servos move in a manner that will match text to speech entries

Me and Danny are practicing Arduino primarily for today. we're focusing on the actually meaning of common code commands as of right now.
