End time: 9

Members present: Rika, Crystal, Sean, Michael, Josh, Oranges, Apples


Tasks Completed:

  • Tested bright light interferance with Omron Sensors.
  • Determined that hopefully two omrons will go on both ends of the converyors



Oranges Dave Omron Sensor Data

  • No extra shroud around detector during test
  • White object detects to 2" (Omron data sheet predicts 1.77", so pretty close)
  • Silver Object detects to 2.5"
  • Black electrical tape detects to 1"
  • Black marker detects to 1" (Omron data sheet predicts 0.78", so pretty close)
  • Black paint detects to 1"
  • The best distance to tell the difference between white and black is about 1.5" (Omron data sheet would predict about 1.25").  On/off not messed up by green laser pointers. Not messed up by 100watt incandescent light.



Tasks In Progress:

  • task
  • task



Tasks to Complete/Things we want to know:

  • Do we want six photoelectric sensors (and if so, consider less expensive ones?)
  • Want sensors from here?
  • What sensor to use for shaft encoder on top spinner.
