WHW - Connected all the servos and other wires to the arduino ready to be put inside the mount/case together. Also hooked up the power supply to the unit.
WHW - Worked on the code in the arduino IDE for servo movement and control.
WHW - Finished all the wiring & used the heat shrink tubing, ready to be used now. I found some LEDs to use!
WHW - Worked on a customized power supply loom to work with all of the different soldering parts. Burnt my finger with the soldering iron for the first time. (NOT a good experience) 🙁
WHW - Attached and bolted the servo system to the top of the mount, finished with connection between the servo, and attached “spring” pins (don’t know the real name for them because they came in a robotics kit)

Made the servo bracket and tilt mechanism, spent a solid amount of time today learning about motor control haha, did some of the wiring too

3D printed all of the needed mounts/clips & a case for the arduino and cables to sit underneath the camera. - had to go to the CT makerspace and use their 3d printer :)

Got all the parts for this project - also planned out some of how im going to start for tomorrow! - really busy with school work today and plan on doing more tomorrow!!
So excited, just applied to the hack club Winter Hardware Wonderland grant!! I'm planning on making an auto webcam movement tracker for zoom calls. Should be a fun project!
Worked on organizing a new event and raise money. Learned all about marketing, sponsorship, finances and more! Great experience, I recommend you also go ahead and organize a hackathon!
