156B Week 8

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

We did a few redesigns on the connectors in order to increase strength of the timing belt assembly. On the software side, we created the GUI and able to move the finger to a respected position however it still needs calibration.

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• Created a working control system for 1 arm

• Created a tested GUI for user input

Goals for This Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• Intepret software to 3 fingers

• Create global reference frame conversion function

• finish calibration in the trifinger

• increase voltage to 24V and embed the power supply to the assembly

• Project Report & Webpage Draft 2

• Install the new motor drivers that can run 24V

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate the date of comments and if via email or in-person)

• Convert all circuits to PCBs

Risks and Areas of Concern:

• Timing Belt Slippage

• Voltage difference between Servo and Stepper motor

• Calibration Method

Budget

• PCBs
