Week 9 Progress
This week was used mainly for testing our set up. We obtained all our 3D printed parts from innovation studio and we were able to test our set up during the lab session at the innovation studio. We run the image processing and motor control code when every component was set up and the small magnetic sphere made a slightly smooth orbit in the first quadrant. We were not able to complete the full orbit due to time constraints at the lab. We had some challenges with lighting. This was because of the light intensity in the innovation studio varied at different parts of the lab. Therefore, we had to move our set up around to get a good spot for the code to detect the small magnetic sphere under good lighting conditions. Also, We started preparing our final presentation slides and finalizing our final report. Figure 1: final set up Figure 2: Code detection Figure 3: small sphere in the first quadrant
