It would be rad to also write in javascript w/ Johnny5 if possible :)

added some documentaiton images

some prelim data from the ITP window!

• you can see how the thermocouple's response time is much faster and more sensitive to changes in air temperature compared tothe adafruit thermometer.
• we also observe that the thermal infrared sensor ambient air aligns pretty well with the thermocouple.

TODO:

Buy:

• buy reflective tape
• get heatshrink
• buy acrylic for second box

DO:

• attach reflective tape to slots and take documentation photos
• bring electrical tape
• bring microscrew driver kit
• test on bike
• try preliminary test for response time of sensors
• build box 2
• documentation photos and instructions for construction
• reorganize repo

Let me know when you need to laser cut the next box and I can give you a better tutorial + help! I also added the enclosure files as a pull request.

[joeyklee]

@stephkoltun - thanks so much!

I'll ping you via email to coordinate date/time that works best for you :)

• I merged Add enclosure 3D model and template for laser cutting #11

==> we'll have to adjust the sensor shading since direct sunlight will pretty much go right through the little hood we have now, but otherwise, it zip ties pretty nicely to the front of the handlebars. A little cushion might be good for the arduino and a bit mroe tape on top just in case

[joeyklee]

I had some ideas for some product design updates:

• we could add a funnel to the front that would funnel air in and downwards ==> then we could add the thermocouple and the temperature sensor within the air flow chamber to deal with shading and also ventilation. Since the bike is moving forward, this might work. Also, funnels look cool. Kind of like

box number 2 made!
