Week 5 Progress: May 1 - May 8

This week, the group again focused on two main aspects: getting the device to work properly, and creating the CAD models for the case.

Soldering was done in order to wire the device to allow it to fully function independently from the computer. Now that the total size and dimensions of the device could be calculated, the group was able to construct basic Creo models of what the case will look like. The models are depicted below:

The case:

The lid:

We plan to finalize these models to include an opening for a picture. This way the device would double as a locket. Unfortunately, the device is extremely thick and would probably be uncomfortable to wear. Luckily, many of the parts we are using can be reduced in size greatly for an increased price. A finalized marketed version would be much smaller. 

After the models are finalized, we will construct the casing using the 3-D printer.
