i printed the old case and it didn’t work at all so i spent all day redesign the case from scratch and i made a lot of changes while i was doing it

size:
i made everything a bit bigger because things didn’t fit mainly the place where the fan it

no screws:
i hade screws before because i thought is is just a good way to hold things together how ever i realized while redesigning they don’t work for this project because they are just to big and heavy so i am instead relying on the elasticity of plastic to hold the cover on

the little flaps:
in the old design i had these tiny flaps that was spoused to increase stability with rails to let it fold up however i made the rails waaay to small so this time i made the rail 5x bigger along with making the flaps longer to increase surface area

rails:
last time i designed the legs, before i designed the rails that they will go in to this resulted it really bad rails so this time i made the rails first then designed the legs so that it will be stronger because i can actually make strong rails

i made the circuit for the motor speed controller its really simple. i also got all the git hub repository set up

i am going to make a fume extractor because i solder in my room and that’s not good for you

constraints:
small(i want it to be under 1ft so it can fit in my desk)
expandable(i want a way to move it up and down so it can work when i am soldering something on a stand)
flat(i don’t want to have many part stick out so i can put it in my drawer without taking up to much space)
stable(i just don’t want it to fall over)

small:
to make it small i made it out of a small parable fan i repaired

expendable:
i was thinking about how to do this for a long time and eventually settled on a ladder peg system so you lift it to the high you wand then insert the peg so it holds in place

stable:
for this i knew i wanted a system where something would extend on the floor to increase surface area how ever i couldn’t find a good way to do this so i settled on two little flaps that go on the bottom of the legs

flat:
this is why the stability was really hard to figure out but i ended up making a track for the flaps to fold up so they don’t tack up space

this is the case for the thing it has a water bottle and battery then i will use a semiconductor cooler with a radiating fan. the water bottle and battery go inside the backpack and the fan goes outside the backpack so there is a cover that can snap on incase of rain

i added a bot that can play against you. it really is just a random number generator but it works. i also made the plus 2 cards and skip cards work along with fixing a bug where reverse cards cant be played on the sides of the board(unity takes a long time to load and i didnt get a new screen shot so i just put the old one in mb)

i just (hopefully) finished the case for the power supply. also some changes from the last design is that it will have a bigger display and can also output ac current on one of the out puts(re designed circuit because i didn’t like it)

i fix the bug where it would crash if you place any card on the side and i made the reverse card work. reverse cards switch the card above and below and it also switches sides

i just spent 3 hours making it so you cant place a card on another card and i added some logic so you can only place cards next to cards of the same color or number

i forgot to post for a while but i just finished the case and made a circuit diagram (again becouse the old one sucked) so hopefully the Arduino can control everything for a

i forgot to post any dev logs but so far i have made a grid that you can put cards on but there is no logic so its mostly visual rn

i made the circuit for the power supply and i made the case for everything
