- This week I worked mostly on design. I created a document to help our team finalize our metrics. In addition, I drew up a rough sketch of the FSM for the stand’s calibration stage in preparation for writing code next week. I also did some more research on connecting to the Arduino via Bluetooth from the laptop’s side. I also finalized the block diagram, which now includes some more detailed calibration information, such as a button that the user can press to restart the stand. The rest of my time was spent working on the presentation, specifically fleshing out our testing plan (Bluetooth communication, and motor precision).
- I am currently a little behind schedule, which I plan to make up during the slack period I have scheduled for a week and a half from now.
- For now, I will continue to draw up a diagram for the hardware, and next week I intend to begin writing the code to control the motor and linear actuators.
