2/26/2021 0 Comments Playing Around With the MotorsThis week we began our journey in electrical, namely interacting with the motor. We took apart the legs and experimented with a motor. We hooked it up to a breadboard and wired it to an Arduino to test its movement. Here is a quick look at our motor experimenting setup: We were able to get the motor to move at desired movements, so this is a good sign for us. Our next plan is to order the remaining electrical parts we need, and then put it all together. In the meantime, we're beginning some of the software and controls work, as our demo day is fast approaching. Some of the tasks we need to work on: porting over the motor library code, getting the camera to work, and then starting the motion planning software. One of our goals for the demo is to show the camera output working. More specifically, our plan for next week:
1. Setup the development environment for the Raspberry Pi 2. Develop the controller and camera streaming to the PC 3. Port the motor library to the Raspberry Pi We hope to complete these 3 tasks before we begin the motion planning code. We'll provide an update next week!
