Happy Summer everyone! The really good news is that despite the lack of updates enormous progress has been made all thanks to the help of Nathan Clark our new local mechanical engineer and Chris Yanc our software developer. The 64 prototype (photos to follow) actually wove for the first time at Mini Maker Faire Cleveland. Unfortunately, the design of the heddle hooks snagged with each other and ended up being a bit imprecise so it wove a good mess. We already redesigned the heddle holders and have to redesign the heddles next to make the 64 thread successfully weave a bit better. A special shout out to Steve Otlowski (one of the awesome folks we met at the faire) who gave us some wonderful ideas to try on the heddle redesign. We have to fine tune the lifting mech, but all the commands get sent via software to the Arduino and the Centipede shield.
