Progress this week:

This week, we focused on the hardware side of SmartFan by designing and 3D printing custom holders for key components:
Micro Servo Holder – A secure box-like mount to keep the servo motor in place.
DC Motor Mount – A piece that allows the DC motor to attach to the micro servo, enabling future oscillation control.

Challenges:

Fit & Tolerance Adjustments – Some minor tweaks were needed to ensure a snug fit for the motors without restricting movement.

Plans for Next Week:

Attach and Test the Servo Mechanism – Start programming and testing the servo to control the fan’s direction.

Add a Display – Incorporate a small screen to show the real-time temperature

Integrate the Micro Servo – Start programming and testing the Micro Servo to help the fan rotate.
