This week I’ve spent most of the time making minor adjustments to the aiming system to get it ready for the final demo, and working on the final presentation & poster & paper. I’ve also printed the camera pole for the LIDAR camera. As we’re integrating the pressure system with the aiming system, the weight of the pressure system put a lot of stress on the aiming system, so I had to make some adjustments such as slowing down the servo motor movement and increasing the speed of the stepper motor movement so that the whole thing moves more smoothly. Below is the final image of the finally assembled robot.
I’ve also worked with Alex and Mike to software-control the pressure system, and ensuring frontend calls the right endpoint on the pi.
I have finished all my task and is on schedule.
I will be ensuring everything works as expected and work more on final deliverables next week.
