Jacob’s Status Report for 4/18/26

This week, I worked on troubleshooting/debugging the vehicles as we modified them to fit in 3D printed cases. The main issue was that many wires disconnected in the process and needed reconnected, but this is difficult within the case. I also spent a significant amount of time debugging for the ultrasonic sensors. One issue was that one of the sensors had gone bad, and replacing it worked. Another issue was that one of the pins on one of the vehicles was no longer working properly to output the ultrasonic trigger signal. Switching to a different pin worked. I was also looking an issue with one of our vehicles. It seems to overheat then restart every once in a while. We haven’t figured out what is happening there yet.
