(Mar. 5-11) Finishing Touch

This week in shop, I worked on sealing away my news display project. I worked on some finishing coding touches which included installing new fonts for the neomatrix, and refining the rate at which the database will clear itself of previous entries. Other than that, I soldered the electronics together and figured out the routing for the wiring before making the final cuts. The screen will be made of a frosted translucent acrylic and the rest of the case will be made out of wood with the possible addition of a L-bracket to make sure that the wood does not warp over time.

I am very excited to wrap up this project because that means that I get to move on to utilizing image detection for an autonomous rc-car. This project will be difficult and I don't have much time to do it, but it will definitely be a fun learning experience and a good use for what I have been learning about tensorflow, opencv, mediapipe, etc...
