Lots of work on the instructions today. Today was working on the data in sheets. The next update will be running it through the python program and updating these onto the pages on our site. Check out the Brain Kit page again, now it has the 3D model embedded in to the page. Here was the progress today:
build – chassis instructions
– minor edits to steps – improvements to how the fasteners were referred to in the instructions
– parts sheet updated
– pieces sheet completed
– next steps: process the steps and parts sheet and post online
– next steps: process the pieces sheet
brain kit page
– updated gallery to animate
– added fusion 360 embed
– completed the pieces sheet, and uploaded the stls
– next steps: go through the corrections and edit the steps
– next steps: process the pieces sheet
build – drive system
– minor edits to some steps
– completed the parts sheet
– pieces sheet completed
– next steps: process the steps and parts sheet and post online
– next steps: process the pieces sheet
build – arm
– replaced image v1.arm.b.04 with no screw
– minor edits to steps
– completed parts sheet
– pieces sheet completed
– next steps: process the steps and parts sheet and post online
– next steps: process the pieces sheet
build – hopper
– minor edits to steps
– pieces sheet completed
– next steps: process the steps and parts sheet and post online
– next steps: process the pieces sheet
operator interface, super bright lights, power pack = these also need pieces sheet created

Today we finished the brain kit landing page. It contains all the info in one place about the brain kit, what it does, and how to get started. Go check it out! This will be our template for the other kit landing pages as well.
The progress started two days ago (March 21), but only finished today (March 23) because of figuring out how to make the gallery work. The brain kit links to its page on the store, and now it is complete. Actually, upon writing this, just realised that the 3d models are missing. They will likely go in to the guide page.

Yesterday we completed the overview for the blink guide, and ran the python program to bring the sheet to html. Today we posted the html to the page, and now the first blink guide is viewable here. Go check it out!
In addition to this, the build series page was added. It serves as a table of contents for a solo Bowie build. As you can see, it’s not complete yet, and there’s still a ways to go.

We made the images for the first blink guide. This update seems tiny, but it plays a big part in that guide.

With the progress of the build guides coming along, today we took a pause to figure out how all of those pieces would fit together into a series. The result of this brainstorming session was seeing that there will likely need to be three series: a solo Bowie build (for makers building it on their own), a team Bowie build, and an educational group Bowie build. The edu build would be broken into phases, as seen. It looks simple, but there was a lot of erasing and re-writing while figuring this out on the whiteboards.
