Couch Potato Project Kick Off

Couch Potato Project Kick Off

We call this project "Couch Potato". - Maybe adding wheels to the couch in order for it to move and designing a frame that will prevent it from tipping over and coding using python.  We have the wheels and motor from an Electric Wheel Chair.

Next Steps:

  1. Test Motors - Complete - We tested the motors and they works perfectly. Now we need to find a way to connect the motors to the frame. 
  2. Plan frame - In Process - We have designed how our Couch Potato will look like using tinkercad, having the welding team create the frame for us . The coding team are coding the controls for the motors to move and how it would turn.  
  3. Motor Controller - In ProcessThe coding team are coding the controls for the motors for how our project will move and how it would turn. 
  4. Joystick - In Process- We had trouble using the Raspberry Pi since there are no analog pins, so we're switching over to the Arduino.
