This week, I’ve mainly been working on ironing out any small design issues with the physical rail system and tuning/calibrating the motor system. We had an issue where the replacement motor driver for the previously broken motor driver also arrived broken (hooray) but we managed to procure a replacement as fast as possible and am working on tuning right now. I’ve also started working on the poster and final report just to save time, and will hopefully be meeting with our SOM collaborators to record a demo with our working product. The main thing to focus on now is the motor tuning so we can capture accurate video for our video demo and our collaboration. The main concern we have now is finishing our motor movement fine tuning so we can have a presentable project before both demo days. At this point schedule isn’t really relevant, we’re just focusing on getting it done as fast as possible.
