Work Night 5.6.16

Work Night
Date:5.5.16
Location: Logan HS
Time: 4:15-8:45 PM
Students: Joey and Grant (Max also stopped back in to help)
Goal: Get the main drive (relays, switches, etc..) wired an tested.

We were able to get most of the switches and relays wired in along with our main motor drivers. We did a quick test to see if the motor driver was outputing to the motor using a power resistor to simulate the motor. We did get a current draw so we know that works. We are having a problem with one of the momentary switches which turns on the main drive. We needed another hour of troubleshooting so we will have to work on that next time we meet. Once we have this tested, we will begin working on the RF side for our controller inputs.

Joey finding the correct resistor.

Our relay box partially wired.

Our test bed with all the wiring and components on it. We still have to add a few things.

We found we need a lot of table space for this project.
