Last time we finished the robot’s full structure. This mean that we have finished the prototyping stage of the robot. See the robot below.           The next stage for our team is to program and test the robots systems. Along with this we also need to check all the main structures…

PID 3 elements -Proportional Controller-outputs based on the magnitude of the error -Integral-outputs based on the magnitude AND duration of the error -Derivative Controller – outputs based on the rate of change and the error Simplified form = Kp*error + Ki*integrated error+Kd*Derivative of the error of function Tuning a PID Loop For the first half of…

Various Communication Methods for Digital Signaling Notes Digital – discrete values that have breaks and are not smooth Analog – smooth continuous curves PWM – pulse width modulation I2C – inter integrated circuit Serial data – data transfer sequential SPI – serial peripheral interface SCL- serial clock SS- slave select MISO- master in slave out…

We started the class by practicing CAD and I made a simple Cube and Sphere in Fusion 360 Communication Protocols Control Protocols Analog – Continuously varying signal Digital – Logic highs and lows PWM- Pulse width Modulation (Control/Data Signal) Inter-integrated Circuit- Multiple circuits that work together and communicate I2C- The Inter-integrated Circuit (I2C) Protocol is a protocol intended to allow…

Underwater Robotics Section 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 2.1 2.1 was an introduction to section as it talks about how to create a functioning robot or any other project. The main idea behind the section says that when doing any project hard or easy a strategy is essential for its completion. 2.2 2.2 talks about how…
