Year 2 project, Robot Arm(week3)
Friday, February 15, 2019 Week 3: Before attending week 3 lab session, we met the supervisor for some suggestions regarding the problem we are facing in the robot gripper, he gave us solutions to overcome the problem by either changing the gripper angle in coding or changing the construction of the gripper. In addition he suggested us to add a sensor on the edges of the car as when the car approaches to other obstacles, it sends feedback such as ps2 vibrations. In the lab session, we focused on solving the gripper problem. So we decided to change the gripper original angel and servo end angel which controls the gripper and it was tested several times. Finally the servo worked. Our next activity was to add a distance sensor HC-SR09 to the car to send feedback to the ps2 controller in vibration form when the can approach any obstacle in its way. We tried to combine the two parts of the code, unfortunately id did not work, ...
