Today, Ilan and I took apart the 3D printer to replace the heating bed with the new one we had been sent. When we reassembled it with the new heating bed, however, it did not start properly. My theory is that we replaced the heat sensor cable into the wrong socket; Ilan will contact customer support next class.
I also worked on the code for EC monitoring. I have not yet built the sensor (the one component that I have been unable to find is an unimportant power cable that I can cut apart) but the skeleton of a Python implementation of the sensor array is finished; I need to decide which GPIO library I will reference to complete the program (the basic library, gpiozero, relies on secondary dependencies). Everything is modular and packaged in a class for easy importing if other group members need the code later on. The latest version is live on GitHub.
