Fabrication:

  • Progress:
    • The hinge has been fully assembled and attached to the suitcase
    • The false lid is close to being done (parts have been CADed)
  • To-do:
    • Attach the false lid to the hinge and suitcase
    • Attach the “false lid lifting lever” stepper motor to the suitcase
    • Attach the rattling mechanism to the cardboard base

Electronics:

  • Progress:
    • Rattling DC motors are sautered to wires
  • To-do:
    • Wire up and attach the lid ultrasonic sensor to the Pico board
    • Wire up and attach the outer ultrasonic sensor to the Pico board
    • Wire up and attach the outer pir motion sensor to the Pico board
    • Wire up the rattling DC motors to the Pico board
    • Wire up the “false lid lifting lever” stepper motor to the Pico board

Code:

  • Progress:
    • Independent code for ultrasonic sensor and motion sensor is done
  • To-do:
    • Write code for the entire mechanism and its logic
