Previous Week’s Action Items E2
Motor Selection• Selected/ordered the Beetle B62 Gear Motor
MATLAB Simulation• Final stages of MATLAB simulation
Wireless Remote Control• Purchased universal remote control and identified IR Receiver frequency range (30 kHz – 40 kHz)
MATLAB Simulation E2
• Blue dots represent defenders• Red dot represents running back (our robot)• Variable number of defenders• Autonomous motion through field of defenders
Motor Selection E2
• Max speed of 2.5 mph• Accelerate to this speed in 2 s• Assume a 2 in wheel diameter and 2 lb robot• Minimum torque (4216.7 g-cm)
Current Project Status
• Sensors / motors in hand
• Creating dimensionally accurate virtual model
• Interfacing sensors
• Designing IR Receiver circuit
• Showstopper: IR connector cable (power/signal transmission)
Next Week’s Action Items E2
• Interface touch sensor with micro-processor
• Complete MATLAB simulation
• Construct wireless IR receiver circuit
• Create a dimensionally accurate ProE Model (prototype field and robot)
• Order battery pack, wheels, ball-caster, HDPE, and motor/wheel interface
