Weekly Report 1 (
I had my platform cut out last Thursday, and I put it
together this weekend. I had to make some changes to it because some pieces
didn’t fit perfectly, and I also had to manually drill some extra holes. A lot
of glue was used to put the pieces together but nonetheless it ended up looking
fine. I mounted the dc motors and tested them; I calibrated them to make the
robot move as straight as possible. It still slightly turns to the left. I also
mounted the LCD, the IRs, and the bump switches but I
still haven’t connected them to the board; I want to cut out a board first. Then,
I will wire whatever is left, and finally write the main program for collision
avoidance.
