Shortly after making the changes from the last blog post, we tested the hardware by putting code into the Arduino UNO, but for some reason, nothing happened no matter how we changed the code. After a couple of hours of trying, we realized that the circuit didn’t work as intended … Weiterlesen …
Since the last blog post about our hardware, we realized a small rookie mistake with the wiring: We connected the stepper motors with a servo board, which doesn’t make sense because stepper motors aren’t servos. Thus we needed to change some things up and connect the motors to microstep drivers … Weiterlesen …
Last week we came up with new ideas for our robot. We planned to use a simulator to split problems between hardware and software. We also continued working on the SIMAs and came up with a concept for path planning. In addition, we plan to use trajectory control to have … Weiterlesen …
As most of our team isn’t familiar with coding for robotics yet, we had to start by learning the absolute basics. Working through the Microgames was especially handy, as it gave us a relatively approachable starting point for our programming journey. We also read the docs on the Student Robotics … Weiterlesen …
This week, we successfully 3D printed our motor holders. With the motor holders complete, our focus now shifts to assembling the chassis. This is where everything starts to come together – the frame, the wheels, and the motors will be integrated into a functional base for our robot. We’re excited … Weiterlesen …
This week we worked on two things at the same time: Main Bot: We have now decided to use a Raspberry Pi after all, after coming to the conclusion that a Teensy does not provide enough computing power. At the moment we are working on implementing pathplanning with PID tuning. … Weiterlesen …
As we needed to replicate at least some parts of the arena to test our strategy accurately, we replicated the so called high rises, which are pedestals fixated to the ground. Cutting out the exact right cardboard size for the boxes was a bigger challenge than expected. In the end, … Weiterlesen …
After definitely deciding on Tensegrity as our main idea and giving our tower the truly glorious working title „Defying Gravity“, we wanted to come up with a concept that we could implement with this fascinating structural principle. We decided to try to learn from the greats and look up a … Weiterlesen …
As Eurobot season kicks off once again, we’re excited to share the first update on our progress this year! First of all, we want to share our plans this year with you: We plan on using a similar hardware design like last years, but plan on switching to a Teensy … Weiterlesen …
As our first challenge this year, we have chosen the movement challenge. With the deadline rapidly approaching, we’re already working hard on fulfilling the essential requirements. This week, we set up the very first circuit. This will enable the wheels that we attached last week to move. So you can … Weiterlesen …
