We finally have a working vacuum chamber, which quickly revealed a need for a way to release the vacuum without a sonic boom. The ‘vent valve‘ is of course back ordered, so development efforts are focusing on building the testbed and learning more about the Arduino Uno. The Arduino will be used to sense the turbulence within the chamber and adjust the voltage going to the net to counteract it.
