Spring 2016-Week 12

This week, we had some hits and misses, After weeks of working on the animal sound module we realized that, the data logger/SD card reader we acquired was faulty  so we got a new one.
Thank fully the new one worked, the arduino board read the data off the SD card without an issue. We then built the circuit for the animal sound module but no sound came out, we are currently trouble shooting and rebuilding

Current circuit for animal sound module.
We attempted to reprint our whole module, apart from it being an over 50 hour print job, about 1/3 of the way into printing, we ran out of the colour of filament we were printing in. We intent on attempting to print again when we have enough filament of the same colour.

Lastly, we had a set back with the Simon says module, when we connected it to momentary switches we bought for this project, we realized there were some glitches. we are currently working to rectify this and all other issues. Hopefully all will be fix in the next week.

Spring 2016-Week 11 part 2

This week part from making changes to the frame we also ordered new parts for the "simon says" module as well as the animal sound module.
We got new wire connectors as the ones we previously ordered were too big. we also  purchased a new SD card reader. This week, we will be rebuilding the animal sounds and simon says module as well as putting the whole toy together.
  

Spring 2016 - Week 11

This week, we have improved on the frame of the toy in order to make it more stable than Prototype 1. In Prototype 2, we have made the main body of the frame only consist of two parts rather than ten parts. Below, is how Prototype 2 will be made.

Figure 1 - The Right Side of Prototype 2. Instead of having separate modules attached to the frame post-3D printing, the modules will be 3D printed attached to the frame of the toy. This module consists of the Pull-String Toy, the Sound Toy, half of the Pop-Up Toy, and half of the Sliding Door Toy

Figure 2 - The Left Side of Prototype 2. This module consists of the Maze Toy, the Simon Says Toy, half of the Pop-Up Toy, and half of the Sliding Door Toy
