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: 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: There are a few low risk items currently on the table. Firstly, the latest batch of orders has yet to arrive. We placed them February 20th, and with Amazon Prime shipping we expected all the items in by now. We’ll be following up with staff to ensure we can Read more…
Team: Since all three of us are software focused, the biggest risk that jeopardizes this project is the construction of the solving robot. To mitigate this risk, we’ve planned and chosen a mechanism that requires the least moving parts and precision out of all our solving options. The motor drivers Read more…
