This week, I worked on the gantry control system and made significant progress. Early in the week, I connected the servomotor to the Pi and tested our ability to control the servo with the Pi. I wrote a test file for testing the servomotor, which proved that we could precisely control the servomotor to go to a specific angle. I worked with Chris on finishing the preliminary code for the gantry control system, which contains several control functions involving manipulating the servo and stepper motors to perform tasks. I wrote a new test file for testing the stepper motors, and experimented with several different motions and controls to ensure we could manipulate our stepper motors in the way we desired. <\/span><\/p>\n

My progress is on schedule this week. I was able to wrap up setting up the hardware for our project, which includes the Pi, the motor shield, the stepper motors, the servomotor, and the connections between these parts. I finished the preliminary code for the gantry control system and I extensively tested the control of our motors.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the next week, we will begin testing our system as a whole, and ensuring our subsystems are correctly interacting with each other and performing our desired tasks. We will also deal with any issues that may arise from testing. I will modify our code to account for any problems that may occur, or to make our software more efficient and accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
