Couch Potato - We Did Presentations

Today we presented our projects and received good info on what to do from Mr. Burnham

We need to simulate our code with a joystick, controlling the motor. How will we control the steering, stop one motor to turn, one goes back and one moves forward?  


Team members: Darryl, Hazel, Chris, Francisco, Zachary

What Steps Did We Solve:

  1. Test Motors - Done - We have tested our motors, and they function correctly.
  2. Test Motor Controller - Done - We have tested our motor controller, and it functions correctly.
  3. Plan Frame - Done - We have designed a versatile frame for our couch, and visited the Welding class.

Next Steps:

 List all the current steps in order of priority. Mark "Pending", "In Progress", "Road Block", "Done"
  1. Build Frame - Pending - With our frame planned, we need to have the Welding team begin building it.
  2. Cleaning the Motors - In Progress - The motors are dirty, and need to be cleaned out.
  3. Finishing Touches on Frame Planning - In Progress - We need to answer a few questions regarding the frame.
  4. testing motor control with joystick and coding - In Progress-  We need to use our coding and a joystick to check how the joystick controls the motor, and how will it steer.
