February blog

During February I soldered the PCB which was an enjoyable task to do, and then also made the white line sensors so we can progress in that area of the micro mouse. The white sensor board worked correctly, and we are currently trying to calibrate them so that they work smoothly. I have also started on the creation of the shell although I am struggling with learning the SolidWorks software as it seems quite complex, but I will be watching some videos on YouTube to aid me. This SolidWorks will be what I am working on in March as well.

Happy New year! We had a Christmas break and exams from late December to January, and we came back to the labs this week, we designed the PCB before the break and Mr Moody kindly printed it on Tuesday, Ethan started work on the PCB, drilling holes for the circuits and making a smaller circle. Andrew and I also got to work building the white line sensors on the breadboard and then we are currently adding it to the microcontroller. Check out a few pictures from our PCB and white line sensor prototype.

On the left is the first picture of our PCB after drilling holes for the circuit, the edges are still a little rough.

On the right is the final picture of the PCB after using the sander to get a more accurate circle.
