Work Day Saturday, 4.30.16

Location: Logan HS Tech Ed Dept.
Time: 10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Goal: Install case fan on main motor driver and mount steering driver on bracket.

We have been spending a lot of time at Ace Hardware looking for various small fasteners to attach motor drivers and fans to mounts. The challenge was to mount a 12 V case fan from a computer to the bracket we made for the main motor driver. It had to be set at an adjustable height because we are unsure what temps the driver will throw off. Our front steering driver is small so we were able to use a grommet to space the driver off the metal bracket so we did not create a fault.

The optoisolator input to the steering motor driver has been breadboarded also.

Looking forward to this week because we will have two work nights and we feel we can wire most of the electronic components and then begin bench testing to troubleshoot everything.
