Subject: FLIR project - Installing the mask. 
[Pamella]
  • The new mask for the reflector.
  • 1:40 pm: Started reconfiguration on the FLIR camera project. Changed the old bridge for the new mask-bridge.
  • 2:00 pm: Started figure out the best way to cutting the aluminum foil with the new mask. Unfortunately, I had been some problems for cutting the perfect shape triangles with the mask because the size inside the triangle is different (smaller) than cutter/knife, so is not able to do the cut with precious and carefully then maybe I need other tool for this job. Also I tried use the scissor, didn't work. However, just for the initial testing I worked with the not perfect triangles shape.
  • 2:49 pm: Started installing/attaching the light in the mask.
  • 3:21 pm: Finished installing the light in the mask-bridge.
  • 3:22 pm: Started testing the current and voltage in the new mask-bridge for make sure the light cable is working well.
  • 3:25 pm: Started measurement the resistance with multimeter.
  • 3:29 pm: The measurement looks fine. The multimeter show us 14.1 Ω;
  • 3:38 pm: Started putting the reflector( with the mask attached) in front of the black wall.
  • 3:44 pm: Started roll the testing with the python code to observer the behavior with this new mask. Parameters: 0.14 A and 1.9 V.
  • 4:00 pm: Started snapping. Parameters: 0.13 A and 1.9 V. Final Temperature: 42.7 C.
  • 4:02 pm: Started trying again with more current. Parameters: 0.16 A and 2.2 V.
  • 4:36 pm: Started snapping. Parameters: 0.16 A and 2.2 V. Final Temperature: 50.3 C.
  • 4:55 pm: For now, we can't see the triangles in the snap so i need do some changes.
  • To do:
    1. Change the FLIR camera position for the other side on the table.
    2. Start the test without the black wall.
    3. Try a better tool to cut the triangles inside the 3D-mask.
