Well made software is just as vital to any computerized projects as hardware. The quality of the software can impact everything from customer comfort to energy efficiency and the speed at which components break. In order to get the railcar to move in the desired way, the programming of the Arduino could be completely made of simple commands. Some of these basic commands include acceleration and braking motors. Simple motor commands were loaded onto the Arduino in order to give an example on how the software would have to be designed in order for the railcar to work effectively. The goal is to discover and be able to create a ideal car to comfortably and efficiently transport people one place of the park to another. Part of being able to obtain this is by developing a code to make the car move and stop at a subtle and relaxed way without causing the passengers discomfort. To accomplish this the practice of working with coding and programming was practiced.
In this lab the prototype design for the monorail was being used and it was found that the weight distribution was off balanced, so it became known moving forward that we needed to alter the setup of the AEV and work on finding a way to get all of the parts we needed on the cart with it also being level. With a few modifications made to the AEV an altered prototype was made to continue to test the code with. The new style created gave ideas of how to set up our ideas for a new design for the AEV.
