AROWEEK 11
Bram van den Nieuwendijk This week, I began by 3D printing several parts and doing some laser cutting to continue building the prototype. The bottom section of the prototype is now ready for testing as soon as the wheels (currently being 3D printed) are completed. The rotation mechanism for the top part in the x-direction is…

Hydrawlics – Week 11
Hello and welcome back!👋 Our blog is a tad late this week. Many of our members had important obligations in other courses the previous weeks, so we had shorter time for preparation than we would like. But we are excited to show what we have been able to accomplish this week! At the end of…

AROWEEK 10
Week 10 Bram van den Nieuwendijk This week, I started by laser cutting the base profiles to begin building the prototype. After the first round of laser cutting, I noticed some interface problems between the parts. I updated the designs and tried again, and this time it worked successfully. The frame of the car has now been built, so…

MiniMuck – Week 11
Hello Wørld! This week we have left no screw unturned! The mechanics of MiniMuck is now assembled and most of the electronics are wired up. The series finale is closer than ever and by changing controller the final version is now sucessfully simulating in RViz. As usual, we’ve spent plenty of time debugging. Interfacing the…

AutoBalance: Week 11
Salim & Muhammed Ø: Developing and Optimizing PID Algorithm for Selfbalancing – Wheel In this week have Salim and Muhammed Ø discussed and planed the development of the PID controller used in the balancing wheel. The main aim is to create a stable system using the IMU sensor to drive the motors and keep the…

Week 11
Wang This week I have continued working on the joystick for micro:bit. I still haven’t received the controller/joystick we will use, hopefully it will come next week. What I have done this week is mostly tried to continue working on the joystick code in zephyr. I had some problems that I haven’t quite figured out,…

ASTROROVER – WEEK 11 – GREY’S AUTONOMOUS
August Plan For the Week I will continue on last weeks work: Making the Arduino a ROS2 node The original plan was to use a flask-server. But after working with ROS2, I decided that we would instead make the arduino a ROS2 node as well. I started with creating a class ArduinoBridge, in arudino_bridge_node.py. This…

PickMeBot-week 10
Sondre: This week, my main focus has been on combining the IMU with the ultrasonic sensors to ensure the robot can maintain a steady heading throughout the course. Previously, the robot relied solely on the IMU for heading correction. However, this approach had limitations: the robot lacked awareness of its distance from the walls, and…

Week 10
Wang This week I haven’t done much physically since I don’t have the joysick yet but I’ve heard that I’ll eventually get it next week. So for now it’s mostly theory about how I can do it while I learn more to navigate in zepyhre. Since I’m not entirely sure yet which joysick I’m going…

AutoBalance: Week 10
Meron: This week, I continued working on Phase 2 of our auto-balance motorcycle project, which focuses on the steering system. After finishing the design last week, I printed out the new parts and started assembling the motorcycle in the workshop. The main goal was to test the steering mechanism in real life, and I’m happy…
