Personal Accomplishment
- From last week, we were having issues with leakage so we bought a sealant from amazon to prevent this spillage linked here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QH2NVM1?aref=lMNy4leknS&aaxitk=43f4d7c040d3595ae4ff5b19e7a9bfed&language=en_US&pf_rd_p=4500617b-0cc7-45a9-8bde-f455bfff54d3&pf_rd_r=PM1NQ09VXSYAG6H5D201&pd_rd_wg=mlWzO&pd_rd_w=R8mNi&pd_rd_r=a5477621-1d08-47ba-abcb-038e037683dd&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref=dacx_dp_584513011770653646_581762112201876234
- Presented our final presentation slides including our overall design, system implementation and testing
- Link to image of our final implementation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V3DTjaAlpKhC7MVdhEhgtV_RTbuMcXRj/view?usp=sharing
- Wrote the system implementation and testing sections for the final poster
Testing
- Ran unit tests involving dispensing to get better accuracy of volume dispensed, the results were within 10 percent error. Also ran tests involving garnish selection so arm has higher success rate of grabbing the various fruits, currently at about 70 percent success. Ran repetitive trials to gauge consistency and any edge cases that could cause system failure, so far the system doesn’t fail but we plan on testing a lot more for confidence in robustness.
- A notable design change was cutting down and standardizing length of wires for more homogeneous flow rates as well as elevating platform to hide and protect circuitry. This ensured the testing of the dispensing unit had standardized conditions and also helped calculate timing for valves to stay open.
- Another design change was adding sealing tape to the valves as we observed a lot more leakage and spillage than we anticipated during testing
Next Week Goals:
- Create the Final Video Demo
- Prepare for the in person presentation
- Write the final report
Status: On Schedule
