for this test can be seen in theTesting section below. Next, it is equally important to evaluate the parts for the control system. In orderfor PHiLTER to properly operate the correct parts must be used along with useful coding.The electrical components for PHiLTER has not changed from the initial design. For the prototype theRaspberry Pi will be connected to a display through the display port, 5V power will be connected to pin 2,and ground will be connected to pin 6. The Raspberry Pi is connected to the Arduino through the USB-Aport. The Arduino is connected to the raspberry by USB-B port. The DC AMP meter is connected to the5V and ground pin in the Arduino. Pins A0 is being used to measure the voltage of the generator. Tomeasure the voltage

The system input should be adigital image. System will use a compatible algorithm to generate an output image. Image editingtools such as Photoshop are examples of digital image processing.The steps in image processing are as follows, (a) We have analog 3D surroundings around us. A camera is used to capture the surroundings. (b) Analog input is converted into digital form. (c) The digital image file is used as digital image processing input.

Furthermore, the quantization of analog signal introduces the concept of pixels.For each pixel, the number of bright level can decide the clearness of an image as shown inFigure 6 (See [12] for detailed information). In digital image processing, whether the number ofpixels and the level of brightness of each pixel change are important parameters for a processorto decide if the motion happens after it compares a sequence of image frames.

Therefore, a concentric fill patternwas set up using Slic3r software to maximize tensile strength for dynamic load frame testing. Thesaved file was then loaded to Cura software to run 3D printer as shown in Figure 2(c). For theprinting parameter, the film is printed at 220 °C of nozzle temperature, 50 °C of heating bedtemperature, and 15 mm/s of extrusion speed. Final film was 0.55 mm in thickness
