This week we have completed the software and communications. We are making good progress with the operating instuctions. The CanSat is almost completely finished! Just a few final touches are needed. 🙂 (author: Sophie)
This week we mainly planned our to-dos for friday. We’re planning lots of things like measuring the floor in the area the maze will be in, so that our sensors won’t think they’re a line, or testing how big the minimal distance the magnet that will be used for giving … Weiterlesen …
This week we focused on programming. So we had a close look at the bot: how the bot was following the lines, was turning right or left and was following the lines after turning right or left. We went on coding the bot. After uploading the code on the bot, … Weiterlesen …
We finished the parachute: we used the new fabric band and adjusted the cords. We also improved our folding technique. We tested the parachute by throwing it off the school roof with a prototype of our CanSat. Take a look: We are proud to say: After our devastating first test… … Weiterlesen …
The last weeks we have been very productive. We have been busy with the motor controllers. Since we always take the components of the last years, but sometimes parts break, we use 2 different motor controllers for our little robot. We also started to work on the base plate, on … Weiterlesen …
This week we almost finished our CanSat. We revised and adapted the cover once more. The hull design is now finished. Take a look: (author: Sophie)
This week we rebuilt the line sensors because they hadn`t worked properly. Finally, they do their job. We went on coding the bot. We coded more than 300 lines. The first code is almost finished. The bot can now drive through the maze. We are about to fit in the … Weiterlesen …
This week we managed to build in three colour sensors. With the help of those sensors, we can measure the intensity of the reflected light. The reflected light shows us the colour of the bottom of the maze. Those are the pieces of information we need so that our robot … Weiterlesen …
At the moment we are processing the parachute because we accidentally miscalculated the required size and the cords were too thick. We’ve almost doubled the size of the parachute, thus the cansat should get the right rate of fall. We also use a different fabric that is better suited for … Weiterlesen …
This week we managed to get the bot to follow a straight corridor. The code was reworked again. Now the bot can drive itself out of the maze. Take a look at our considerations: In order to make it a lot faster we had to buy a line sensor and … Weiterlesen …
