Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
proposed flexure design selected.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Flexure analysis completed
Closed loop control of 1dof system implemented
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Build 3DOF testbed
build flexure test stand
program 3dof control scheme
switch from motor driver board to MOSFETs for motor control
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
(All in person on 1/22/13)
Sponsor was happy with flexure analysis
Sponsor is okay with using analog hall effect sensors instead of i2c
wanted to see our 3 dof mock up
Set a goal to have 3dof stage built by next meeting
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
(1/23/13, in person)
Wanted to see more analysis and in-depth understanding of flexures
each team member analyzed a different type of flexure by hand and CAD
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Give more background information in presentation (1/23/13)
Risks and Areas of Concern
3 SMA-wire geometry
need to prove flexure selection will fit all criteria
Resources or Information Required but not Available
