This week we completed the design presentation and finalized the design report for the project. I contributed to several sections of the report, including the abstract, introduction, motor system implementation, project management, ethical issues, and related work. Writing these sections involved organizing our project goals, explaining the technical design of the motor platform, and documenting how the team plans to manage development and address potential ethical considerations.
In addition, I began writing a preliminary motor control driver for the motor platform so that testing can start immediately once the chassis arrives. Preparing the driver in advance should make it easier to bring up the motors and begin hardware testing.
One concern at the moment is the arrival time of the motor platform. Although it has already been ordered, I have not yet received a notification from the ECE receiving desk confirming that the items have arrived. Once the motor platform is delivered, I plan to proceed with hardware setup and begin testing the motor control system.
