Wire and Connection Testing

Test motors before wiring, never connect or disconnect anything (except possibly USB) with the power on. After testing motors, all motors are tested in a configuration with a solenoid actuator, limit switch and relay switch. All the components are configured/controlled individually using the tinyG controller. Motor->done Solenoid->Done

Tests and Refinements

The test version setup is developed using the old 3D printer.

Following tests and improvements are done using the test setups :

Test 1 :

Problem Observed Rectification
Correct Dimension of braille is needed. New size and dots spacing are opted
Motor Vibration Stepper motor parameter is adjusted.

Test 2:

Problem Observed Rectification
Non uniform Embossing Modify the bed orientation
Motor Heating Current rating is adjusted

Test 3:

Problem Observed Rectification
Less penetration Proper thickness of paper is used.

Test 4 :

Problem Observed Rectification
Vertically mirrored letter The solenoid should engrave from upside down , so next version is developed.
