Meeting Minutes
December 6, 2013
I.
Call to order
a)
The different photo sensors are not making too
much of a problem when the difference gap was changed in the code.
b)
Still need to solder the connections to the DC
motor
c)
When the code was saved, it does not seem to be
calibrating anymore and therefore will not be added to the project.
d)
Ken will still be printing the tracks at his
house with files he found online.
e)
We will not be using a servo motor hack.
f)
Some materials from last meeting were purchased
and will be applied.
V.
New business
a)
Went to talk to Professor Sullivan to get
assistance on getting two motors to run on a board. He gave us an H Bridge and
pointed us to a website that gives a step by step process of wiring an H
Bridge. Still need more experience hooking up the motor, have not had success
setting this up.
b)
We will be crimping the photo sensors to
lengthening the connections and have them separated outside the body of the
robot.
c)
Our pieces have been collected and measurements
look good to be put together.
d) Someone from the group will be taking the motor and H Bridge over the weekend and setting up the exact circuit instructed online. Once the motor proves to work, the code will be looked at and adjusted if necessary.
VI.

Left: This is one side of the robot. There are two pieces that were made that will be attached to either side of the platform (right). The platform has screw holes measured to match the screw holes of the arduino board.
This was our first attempt of using the H Bridge. We were not successful turning the motor on.
