Work Day on AV
Date: 5.23.16
Time: 9:35-11:05 AM
Location: Logan HS
Students: Clare, Theo, Isaac, Zach, Michael and Oscar
Goal: Get the main motor drive online so it can be controlled by transmitter. Also, fabricate shielding for the controller and and work on our wireless Live View System.
We took the class period to work on the AV. The good news is the main drive is working and paired with our transmitter so it can now be controlled. We also took some copper PCB board we are using for shielding and cut out holes for velcro strips to secure it.
We are getting closer all the time. Today was a big day because the main drive is now functional. Now for the steering. We have the hardware in place except for a little bit of wiring. The software has to be configured for a left turn (we believe we have the right turn down). If that works we are ready to test on the vehicle.
Looking toward Wednesday when we hope to finish up with our steering test and then move all the components onto the vehicle for final wiring and systems test.
