Week 10

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

Finished manufacturing Design 2.  Vertical Stabilization with human intervention was achieved on both designs. Second servo purchased, new mounting plate and safety box made.

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• Final Report draft updated

• Open loop hybrid control achieved- vertical stabilization without disturbances. For both design 1 and 2

• Servo Arduino Code Updated

• Encoder processing code created.

• Safety box completed.

• New mounting frame created

• Servo casing created

• Testing on design 1 to test and debug motor code and esc calibration 

• Poster Draft done

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

• Get IMU working on crank mechanism: Allyson

• Make holes on mounting frame for servo: Allyson 

• Improve arduino wiring: Jack, Wei

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

• Was very happy to see both design working, now just wants feedback of angle positions from IMU and encoder

• He wants to have both mechanism working at the same time, so we made another base mount and a new servo

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

• Like to see design working in person next meeting 5/29 this was done for sponsors 6/2 so it will be ready

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
