This week, I received the items that I needed to start testing our actuation mechanism and belt mechanism. Over the weekend, I started to familiarize myself with the yellow-jacket motor and motor driver and experimented with getting the motor to communicate with the Arduino via the motor driver. I plan on continuing this over the next week and developing a robust framework to help us integrate this code into the main project. As mentioned last week, I will also attempt to communicate with the goBILDA servos.
