Stepper motors, Arduinos and CNC Shields have been purchased to begin prototyping phase. The frame of the crane has been crafted and currently a motor / Arduino testing board is being manufactured.
No functional changes. The code is constantly being refactored and optimized. Currently the verbose feature is being worked on.

At the point of the initial upload, the project had already progressed quite far. The following features have been completed.
The frame of the crane including the stepper motors have been assembled.
The warehouse dimensions can be set in the preferences file settings.txt.
The new containers can be added to the warehouse data model by pressing "n" for New on the keyboard and entering the container ID into the popup prompt.
The UI displays the storage locations as large rectangular boxes in rows and columns.
The containers are indicated by smaller green boxes stacking up on the bottom line of a storage location box.
The container IDs are displayed inside their green box.
Any container can be double clicked on the UI and is immediately being unloaded.
The system checks whether enough free container spaces are available to perform the desired action and prevents it after alerting the user.
Bottom containers will be freed from the containers above them and then removed from the data and UI.
The actions are logged within the software.
An attempt has been made to display the action log - unsuccessfully.
The UI is responsive.
The software does not contain any hardware control components.
First tests to communicate with Arduino from C# code were conducted - unsuccessfully.... read more
