This week, I finalized decisions on which hardware parts to use, specifically the stepper motors and servomotor. As a team, we placed orders for these parts as well as many others. I did research on how to power our project, such as how to power the Pi and how the pi would connect to the motors. As a team, we found a rather simple solution for both, as the motors can be attached easily to the motor shield of the Pi and a simple cable can be bought to power the Pi from an outlet. In addition, I created the parts spreadsheet for our team, which keeps track of the parts we\u2019ve ordered and received, how much we spend on each part, our remaining budget, and other things. I worked on the team\u2019s design presentation for Monday, and specifically I contributed by creating a block diagram for the design review. I also started working on an initial draft of the image bank we plan to use for some of our testing metrics. I did research into the best way to test our robot\u2019s ability to choose color, and concluded a system that involves testing for the nearest HSV value.<\/span><\/p>\n

My progress is on schedule. For the next week, we will finalize the image bank we will use for testing. Once our parts arrive, I will start testing and experimenting with the RPi libraries for Python, and begin writing code to control the motors. As a team, we will also begin assembling our frame and gantry system once the parts for it arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
