Rama’s Status Report for 3/19

This week I set up the circuit and found the angle and speed ranges for both the motors. I also confirmed the power ranges for the motors so I can purchase the correct power source since we are powering the Arduino and both motors with one external power source.

I have decided to use the ServoEasing library to control the speed of the motors. I tested out linear, quadratic, and cubic easing of the motors as well as combinations of these types. I also tested out the synchronization of the motion of both motors to see if it follows natural head movement better.

I have created a file in which different easing types are used to move the projection so that we can do a small user study and see which motion people find smoothest and most comfortable. I have also worked on the functions we will be using for horizontal motion. This week I hope to finish the functions and focus on properly securing the projector and cleaning up the circuit so it can be secured on the stand.
