June 15th
Today, I have planned on what I am going to do for the next month or so. I created a design for this prototype model by hand, and I think it looks pretty cool.
Here is the plan I have devised for myself:
| Date | Plan for dates | Other notes |
|---|---|---|
| 15-18 | CAD Model designing | Learn fusion 360 |
| 19-23 | PCB designing and adding electronic components to CAD model | Learn KiCAD |
| 23-30 | Design software for hardware | Learn Inverse Mechanics |
I have also started on the CAD model desigining today, I have created a base for the robot arm.
I want the following features in the chess robot arm: - Camera Vision of board - Able to pick and move pieces accurately - Allows you to play with an adjustable bot (with chess.com api or something) - (Depends on time) Allows you to play with other players around the world
Time spent today: 4 hours
