NOVEMBER BLOG

During November I had advanced to the next exercises for the individual coding. The latest one focused on getting the two motors to operate the wheel a specific way (clockwise, ACW, freewheel and brake). I am now on to the last task which involves avoiding obstacles, mainly the white line which would act as the ring during combat.

As a team, Team Bravo are discussing our special feature, while considering the difficulty when implementing code etc, and are waiting to have our PCB printed and drilled once printed. Team Bravo finished building the IR circuit on the breadboard, which had a few problems regarding mismatched values of components such as the resistors and capacitors. Once that was checked and running we agreed on who’s PCB was best suitable to be used as the final piece, which was done by comparing the models we simulated on Proteus. Rhys’ model was the model we agreed to have printed.
