Since the first blog post, the group have advanced in our progress. We have looked into different Arduino codes, tried making our own version of the code and we have tried it out with our servos. While trying it out, we ran into some problems with controlling one of our axis. We are going to look into this problem the following week.
We have also completed our sketch of our gimbal in Solidworks. This sketch is used to simulate all the rotation in 3D and it makes the mechanical work easier.
The group bought aluminum materials and it is cut into the right lengths according to the AutoCAD and Solidworks drawings. The materials are now ready to be welded.
In the following weeks, we are going to look into controlling the last axis, welding our materials and mount our equipment on the gimbal
