✧˚⋆ DEVLOG 3: I’ve received most of the parts, so NOW, I’ve been able to work on the real electronics and design the 3d CAD mounts - my full design is therefore almost complete! (I have a bad habit of saying that lol)

One thing which was particularly tricky was the solenoid mirror mount, which went through multiple different iterations. I had to find a way to encorporate the advantage of the screw-plate mounting system and free suspended motion, and my design eventually (…) was able to accomplish this using a counterbalance!

Then, while messing around with the Uno R3 kit, I also managed to get the laser diode, which I disassembled from my old laptop’s DVD drive, to be functional! It’s not collimated by its lens anymore, but it’s a step in the right direction. I’m sure i’ll be able to find a workaround someway, right? right? :’)
