beginning of the project

today
1.obtained motor controller and motor
2. planned to connect the 5v and 12v supply
3.tried troubleshooting tensorflow for possible use in machine vision

Later,
1.hook up the raspberry pi to all the motors and wires
2.start writing code for sorting the m &m's
3.troubleshoot further problems

So today I officially started the project with Dylan, covering the goals and ideas of the project as well as some advice for how to tackle development of the hardware and software. For example, we will need to be able to control the servo motor to be fast enough to accept the m & m's quickly and sort them. This appears to be the main bottleneck. The main issue with the coding is whether or not the opencv or tensorflow package will be able to work.
