Members Attending Next Meeting:
Tasks Completed
- Finished wiring the controls onto the actual sheet metal interface
- Fixed miscellaneous wiring issues (3 way toggle switch LEDs were reversed, soldered yellow/white pin back onto ribbon connector, Replaced a broken 2-way toggle switch, covered resistors with electrical tape)
- Painted the yellow thunderbolt
- Implemented cable management with cable ties onto the the electrical controls
- Tested the toggle switch LEDs, signal light LEDs and control
- Mounted saitek arm/manipulator joystick with velcro onto the sheet metal
- Determined the correct timing for the pontentiometers (from ADC) for the autonomous delay. It's 32-bits and not 8-bits.
Tasks In Progress
- Program the known controls correctly with the cypress board
Tasks to Complete
- Find a way to protect the bottom of the control interface.
- Lexan is currently being considered.
- Possibly split the lexan into different "zones" or as a straight piece with bars on the bottom side to mount the lexan.
- Determine what functions the toggle switches will perform
- Determine how the cover for the joysticks will be implemented
- Consider a "safety" for the classmate to secure it "better?"
Materials Needed
- Lexan for the bottom of the control interface.
