Meeting 2
1/18/19 8:00AM-9:20AM Hitchcock 224
Luke, Louie, Nick, Nathan Present
This was the second lab day of the semester. The construction of AEV began and each team was given an AEV kit with all of the essential parts. These parts consisted of a base, an arm, wheels, sensors, screws, Arduino board, etc. Luke was in charge of the AEV checklist and the AEV Policy paper. Louie was in charge of writing code for the AEV. A new code was written on Louie’s computer and uploaded to the AEV controller. This time the motors worked when the AEV was turned on. Nick was in charge of building the arm of the AEV. The arm consisted of the two sensors attached on one side and two wheels attached on the other side. Theses sensors would be able to detect how far the wheels or AEV have traveled. Nathan was in charge of building the base of the AEV. This would be where the Arduino board would be placed. After Nick and Nathan connected the arm and the base. Lastly, a code, with the goToAbsolutePosition function, was written to test the sensors. When uploaded to the AEV and started, the motors would run. Then one person would manually turn the wheels to meet the goToAbsolutePosition function. However, the motor kept running, no matter how far we turned the wheels. Therefore the sensors, would need to be fixed.
