Team: At the beginning of the week, we assembled the laser-cut housing with the motors and tested the entire setup with the cube in preparation for our final in-lab demo. We came across the issue of the power supply melting our solderless breadboard. With the 12V2A power supply, our motors Read more…
Team: The team is on pace to finish our minimum viable product (MVP) before our final in-lab demo this upcoming week. We ran into some problems with the motors and the power supply, and ended up opting for a power supply with less voltage and current to ensure safety. As Read more…
Team: This week, we wired the six driver-motor setups in parallel and got all of the motors to rotate accordingly. We encountered an issue with reading a solution string, but managed to get the motors turning with respect to one-character commands (i.e. instead of F1, we have F working). We noticed that Read more…
Team: This week was demo week and in our demo we showed 2 things. The first thing we showed was cube state detection from beginning to end which outputted the solution string. The next thing we showed was our motor successfully turning 2 faces of the cube. The most significant Read more…
