Machine Control: Project 3.1.7 Machine Control Design - Part I



Here is the first code that was made for the project. This was more of a speculation of what to use rather than "wtf am i doing?"





This second attempt at code worked out really nicely; it just didnt have the abilitty to stop the motor.





The final product! This code stops the motor when touched by a swithc, switches the direction and stops it with the potentiometer, and took forever to make!


1. Requirements: to design a vehicle that drives in a strait line back and forth to deliver batches of parts. Must travel back and forth based on input from a potentiometer. Must include an emergency shutoff in case the vehicle travels too far in either direction.

Components: Engineering kit tools and pieces

Constraints: must travel back and forth (2 ways); must have an emergency shutoff

2&3. Solutions/Sketches:

4. Final design:

5. Actual Design

The hardest part of this project (from my view, anyway) was making the code. It was quite a pain to figure out how to set up the motor to stop and reverse while going to forward. Overall, I found the final product to be very acceptable, and I feel that we met my expectations
