Inspiration
Part Senior Design Project for Mechanical Engineering. Other part is for a minature scaled motion platform.
How it works
Uses 2 DC motors and potentiometers for position feedback with two 4 bar mechanisms to actuate a platform for 2 DOF rotation in pitch and roll. Microcontroller is an Mbed. Using serial communication on laptop to control the actuators.
Challenges I ran into
Ran out of time to implement autonomous feedback using a gyro and accelerometer. Difficulty was in getting the mechanical design built and circuits connected. Found out there were faulty hardware such as a nonworking bluetooth which was fried.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The system moves based on user imput.
What I learned
Motor control, potentiometer feedback, serial communication,
What's next for DeLegobyrinth
Autonomous feedback for CPU control. A player will try to move the ball around the labyrinth and have to try and beat the cpu.
