We have finished construction of the two stands for the stepper motors/spotlights. We plan to add bridges to it to increase the stability of the structure. The height of the stands have been overestimated so that if need be, we could cut off some of its height to better fit our project. There may be some difficulties connecting the stepper motors to the bred boards (as the stepper motors are now mounted so high above the ground), but this could easily be remedied by soldering additional wires as intermediaries between the two.
We also tried to use our new threading set to thread the shaft of the stepper motor, but this proved difficult because it is difficult to keep the stepper motor's shaft from rotating while simultaneously threading it. We plan to use some sort of tool to keep the shaft steady the next time we meet.
