Week 1

Week 1      03/02/2023

Playing poker is a popular form of entertainment for people of all ages. This project is designed to create an automatic dealing machine that has the capability to deal cards depending on the number of participants and the way they are played in. 

Preliminary idea: 

The licensing machine is divided into two parts, the upper part of the licensing, the lower part of the control machine rotation and the power supply to the upper part.

Aims of this week:

1. Learned how to connect software and hardware, and built the circuit using thinkerCAD.

2. Learned how to build a 3D model, and roughly built it.

Problems:

The connection problem between the base and the upper part.

How the rotating shaft is fixed without affecting the rotation.

The gears do not match.

Code does not control the hardware.

The monitor takes up too many ports on the R3 board, resulting in a slightly awkward placement of the motor.

The conflict between code instructions for different functional sections.

Display codes do not work properly after switching devices.

How to control the rotation Angle when setting different licensing rules for the dealer.
