Week 14

 This week I got the ultrasonic senor working

    The sensor displays the distance fairly reliably

I could not however get the motor to be able to control both sides separately

    I could get them running on the same circuit

    Running them separately I attempted to get in class but to no avail 

    Unfortunately I got sick as well

    I will attempt to get it working on Monday in the FabLab if I feel better by then 

        I will try to create jumper cables into the staple like things to make sure the                           connections are being made properly and to double check my wiring 

Shell test

    The shell test was unfortunately the wrong size so I will not be able to use it for the shell

    The test will work for mounting the objects as the holes are the right size for the pins I will have to adjust where the holes are though to make the connections solid

        What I need to figure out for the shell now is the scale of the holes to "tuft" yarn                     through to create a fur for the creature to make it look natural 

        The eyes for the creature will be the ultrasonic sensor 

    The wheels I am trying to design in a way that I can also cover them in the fur

        The plan is to put holes on the rims of the wheels to also be able to tuft the yarn in as             well
