I have been working on designing the robot arm system in detail this week. I learned to use a new CAD program, Onshape, and it required a lot of effort. At the end, I was able to produce CAD drawing for multiple custom parts, and made good progress towards finishing the CAD assembly for the entire robot hand system. I also created the skeleton embedded code for controlling the robot arm. I wrote the code for sending PWM signal to interface with the motor drivers, as well as code to read measurements off force sensing resistors.
Progress Evaluation:
I am slightly behind schedule in terms of the mechanical components, as I should have already finalized the design at this point. However, I did get some software work done, which is what I was supposed to do this week.
Next Week Deliverables:
Complete CAD design for the robot. If the the parts arrive, also some parts assembly and wiring.
Onshape Assembly:
