Haptix week 43 and 44
Petter Created some custom cube designs and discussed implementation of how our Rubix cube reacts to virtual touch. Daniel I had to rework most of what I did for the previous weeks. Rather than using Leap Motion’s properties and methods, I created my own fingertips using a custom script and sphere 3D objects. The image above illustrates the current state of the Unity application. When there’s an impact on any of the fingertips, a function in a script called Arduino.cs will be called. Which will then send a signal to the actual Arduino. Where the Arduino will use serial.read() to get the signal. That way it can handle the slaves and vibrating motors. A little side note, the fingertip script seen here aren’t necessarily fully complete. I am currently working on bi-directional communication between the Arduino and Unity application. The image above illustrates the full hierarchy of a hand, in this case the left hand. Once any or more of the turquoise touches something, a vibrating motor for the respective hand and finger should start. The green cube seen in the image is just a placeholder for the interaction Petter is working on. William I am now done with the User Interface for our application (there will be small changes/adjustments). The UI is of course made in Unity, and I have added some implementations and functionalities using C# as you can see in the GIF.

Week 44 Group 6
This week for us for very exciting, we finally got the parts we ordered from china that took a bit longer than expected. But now we can finally start making real progress with the construction of the tank. Computer: We have now started on developing the controls for the tank. We bought a Playstation controller…

Group 7 – Week 9
Week 9 Mechanical Jonas: After deciding to go for the laser as our “firing mechanism” i designed a simple cog-wheel system to control the upwards motion of the cannon, and the sideways rotation of the tower. Needing only 2 stepper motors, there is a lot more room than what we initially thought, and so we…

AutoDrink, week 42
Since last time we have constructed, printed and built the frame of the drinking system. . . The trolley is also printed and mounted on the rod. Inside the trolley there are four wheels that will fit the slots in the rod and make sure that the trolley will remain in the right position while…

Autodrink, week 43
This week we have worked with much of the same as last week. The new thing is that the motor which will control the pump is working, but we have to make a new 3D model of the pump before we can test the it. The trolley, which is mounted on the rod, was a…

Haptix Week 42
Petter We’ve got a working solvable rubix cube. https://streamable.com/iqkpi Right now the colliders causing the movement are located inside the cube, I’m planning on adding a better way of triggering the actions soon, but this will allow us to test the system. Daniel For this week I am working on connecting the Leap Motion device…

Week 43 Group 6
Electro: Motors control Introduction The tank driving system is only composed for two belts and in each belt, we’ve got one motor. Combining the two motors parameters we have the control to go forward, backward and make turns in both sides. As we commented previously, we’ll use 12 VDC/330 RPM motors. We can control the…

Group 7 – Week 8
Week 8 Mechanical Adithya: Since we have finished the design for the suspension, our priority now is to make sure the 3D printed parts fit into each other and into the laser cut parts. After 2 rounds of printing and testing it was shown that without any clearance two parts which work together in Solidworks…

Group 6 Week 42
We have been working on our model in Solidworks, where we are trying to find smart ways to make our parts. Our main issue is producing aluminium parts since the tools at school are limited. Our solution is to make as many thin parts as possible as they weigh less and are easier to process. …

Haptix Week 41
Had a meeting in the Cave at the University. The electro students had received their components, so we looked at these together. In addition, we went through the Leap Motion device and the HTC Vive. Petter: I’ve finished the rubix system which basically describes how each piece interacts with the pieces around it . I still need to adjust how the pieces interact with each other, as…
