Week 45
This week we found out that our current system is suboptimal, so we are making some mayor changes. Table of contents:1. compression spring vs tension springs(Daniel) 1. Tension V.S compression springs Now that I have done some testing and prototyping, I have found that compression springs are not at all suited for our project. The […]

Eight sprint – Puck Buddies
Project Status This week we had a meeting to agree on the design moving forward. We agreed on the final specs, which includes to limit the movement of the machine to one axis. It also became apparent that a 50% scale model would be more practical and it would still be able to show our […]

Week 44
After a two week famine, we are cracking back at it.Working on dialing our Lidar unit, fine tuning of servos, more 3d-modeling and more.Looking forward to going full throttle again! Table of contents: pulley system Stepper motor Servo motor 1. continuing of the pulley system: I am also considering switching to a gear based retraction […]

Week 11 (02.11 – 08.11): Automatic watering system for plants
Mechanical (Shadi and Per-Terje): This week we finished our upgrade iteration for the small parts like Wheels, wheel spacer, ultrasonic mount and motor mounts and sent them to Marius for printing as our replacment parts to fix our 3d printer has not arrived yet. On the other hand, we did the last changes to the […]

Week 10 (26.10 – 01.11): Automatic watering system for plants
Software (Marius): I have had some health issues this week so i havn’t been able to work as much with the project as i’d initially hoped. Watering multiple plants functionality: First i added some more functionality to the system where i use an array to make the system able to water several plants. As of […]

Seventh sprint – Puck Buddies
This seventh sprint was a bit of a longer one as we have had other subjects we needed to focus on. The following blogpost will therefor include the progress we had the last 1.5 weeks. Anders This week I have finalized our control application for windows, I ended up creating a Windows Presentation Foundation application […]

Holobot week 44
There has been a rough few weeks for the Holobot team. Overwhelming amounts of school has made putting in solid working hours hard, but after a few meetings and planning we are back on track. We have ambition to have a mechanical working prototype done by Monday 2. October. Log Kjartan Hololens 2 We discussed […]

Week 9 (19.10-25.10): Automatic watering system for plants
Software (Marius): During this week i have been working on fixing a few bugs in the code, adding more functionality and cleaning up the code a bit. Crane (Servo Motor): I first started with the crane which we want to be moved approximately 80-90 degrees. I first used a for-loop to be able to move […]

Week 8 (12.10-18.10): Automatic watering system for plants
Mechanical (Shadi and Per-Terje): This week we have worked on the re-design of the battery pack and servo bracket, integrated the smaller parts into the water tank lid cower. We come back to the old design of the water tank to get some more space to further design on. Also, we have started to think […]

Sixth sprint – Puck Buddies
Gaute We finally got the technical drawings, with physical dimensions, for the stepper-motor this week. So, I made a model of the stepper and put it in the assembly. Did also make the gear to connect the stepper to the glider ring. I also worked some more on assembly-blocks for the frame. The plan is to 3D-print the blocks so the physical assembly will become easier because we won’t need […]
