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 with a wireless receiver that we plan on controlling the tank with . We plan on driving the tank with the two joysticks in the middle, Since its a tank we have two tracks that can be individually controlled. That will make it have a better control and turning speed, since we can control one track to move forward and one to move back. So it’s easy to turn on the spot.

The inputs from the controller wore quite easy to get out, there existed many schemes for this sort of controller out there. So now it just remains to connect it to the motor when we have a chassis.
