- Scheduled design conference call for 7pm with my contact who is going to work on z-axis.
- He thinks the easiest course of action is to reconfigure Lasersaur controller to add back support for z-axis (Lasersaur ignores z-axis).
- Marcin seems to think a second, independent z-axis controller is the best way to go, since we don't want to interfere with using the Lasaur app.
- Sent my rough SolidWorks mock-up of induction furnace design to electrical engineering friend who wants to run COMSOL simulations to help refine design specifications.
- Investigated aquiring a load balancer to improve our internet infrastructure on-site.
6 May 2014
- Continued familiarization with Lasersaur manual.
- More team collaboration on CNC Torch Table Project.
- Investigated ultrasonic rangefinder devices for z-axis sensing:
- Cheap USB sensor unit.
- Expensive module; integrated rangefinder and controller.
- Discussed CNC Torch Table project with personal contact who has agreed to assist us with the electronics and programming of an independent Z-axis controller system.
- Researched gas purification techniques for possible use in small-scale biogas reactor.
5 May 2014
- Researched, compiled list of existing open source CNC machine projects, uploaded here: CNC Torch-Router Table 2 - Controller module - Industry Standards.
- Recruited two personal contacts to participate in upcoming design sprint.
- Continued familiarization with Lasersaur manual.
