ASTROROVER – WEEK 12 – INTEGRATION HELL²⁰⁰⁰^!: A JOURNEY THROUGH TERMINALS, TEARS AND COFFEE
August & Sander: pictures and an expression of what this week means to us: Where to start? Lets just start by saying that this is how our project, our Astrorover, looks like after integration hell: When writing this, after all the hours it took putting the frame together, designing it, gluing it, mounting the sensors…

PickMeBot-week 11
Sondre: This week was both fun and frustrating. I didn’t manage to solve everything I planned, partly because another course needed attention, but I still made solid progress. The original sprint goal for these two weeks was to make the car navigate without touching the walls, which we actually finished earlier. Now that Theo is…

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…
