Day Two!

Alright! I have a plan! Now lets start the execution! I found all the parts and pieces, and should be able to throw it all back together and put it all on blocks.

I went to my garage to start rebuilding what I had and found a magical mess that I have created with my woodworking.

I have to clean up a little bit and make a proper mounting piece for the motor controller. Shouldn't take too long.

I got everything cleaned up and reinstalled the encoders and the motor controller. I decided that the testing would work while the machine is upside down. This should give me access to everything for quick changes in the wiring and USB control.

In the next few days I will do a fresh Ubuntu and ROS install.

*Note: I didn't do a fresh install, I used a prebuilt VM (6/28/18).

*Note: I should change the naming scheme of these pages, so no one will be able to erase the word two at the end of the url and type three and see the next page without it being ready.

*I didn't realize some of my encoder's wiring came undone. It made it hard to do the next step and caused me to waste a day of building (6/30/18)....
