Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Dr. S asked Rong to make an appointment with the writing center.
Dr. S asked to measure the maximum speed that the stepper motor could achieve and write analysis on that.
Dr. S suggested to use Arduino as an alternative option to run the DC motor integrated with the stepper motors.
One teammate should keep working on the given board.
Dr. S commented that only two weeks left before documentation.
Dr. S asked to attach the homing sensors quickly.
