The goal of the preliminary lab four was to make the team familiar with the MATLAB based design analysis tool and to be able to upload Arduino data into the tool.
The code used to test the AEV:
celerate(4,0,25,3);
motorSpeed(4,25);
goFor(1);
motorSpeed(4,20);
goFor(2);
reverse(4);
motorSpeed(4,25);
goFor(2);
brake(4);
Graphs created by the AEV test
The graph above shows the power in watts verse the time in seconds of the AEV after a test run. The AEV performed several commands over the duration of the trial and the graph shows how much power was needed while being executed.
The graph above shows the power in watts verse the distance in meters of the AEV after a test run. The AEV performed many commands while moving across the track and then reversed to move backwards. The distance is measured with no consideration of the direction the AEV is moving.
