The thing that jeopardized the success was not having the right cable. The code cannot run on the USB micro b wire. We found out that we could not connect with a normal micro USB and we debated on buying an expensive part. This means our code cannot be uploaded to the FPGA. We ordered a new one and immediately implemented code tested with Arduino. We are not moving away but improvising with this issue.
We decided to buy a P-series mount because we couldn’t find a way to straighten the linear actuators. The bracket is crucial for keeping the platform tilting properly. We spent nearly $40 on it. We plan to use our current design as a testing mode.
We pushed back driving the robot until next week because of our inability to upload the code. This is solved by testing the code on smaller pieces like the motor and the IMU, and p[reously said testing on an Arduino as a backup.
