Ruben Henriksen DONE: This is the last blog post so this will recap the whole project from my perspective. In the beginning I knew I wanted to make use of SLS 3d printing since I have access to it through work. I performed some tensile test early on, and I used the results to make […]

Sokaina Cherkane 💻🦾 It’s coughing season🤧🎶But we won’t let that stop us! At the start of the week, I began by soldering a new OpenCM board under Steven’s supervision and with his assistance of course, which was both a valuable learning experience and enjoyable. As shown in the attached picture, the code ran correctly, as […]

Sokaina Cherkane 💻 This week’s plan was to write a new C-code in the Arduino IDE to run directly through OpenCM. The goal was to control the servo motors, making the joints move one at a time, then two at a time, and eventually all three joints simultaneously, including the “hand” (the fourth servo motor). […]

Sokaina Cherkane 💻 This week, the primary objective was to test the control system to ensure the code functioned as intended. However, I encountered some challenges along the way, which were eventually resolved. The servo motors in the robotic arm are controlled by the OpenCM9.04 board, which acts as the master controller. The plan was […]

Welcome back to our 10th ToyzRgone blogpost! Below, you will find the contributions made by each of our team members: Hamsa Hashi 💻 This week, I made significant progress in improving the accuracy of pixel coordinates and object detection using camera calibration and object recognition on the Raspberry Pi. My main focus areas were integrating […]

Welcome back to our 9th ToyzRgone blogpost! Below, you will find the contributions made by each of our team members either individually or in pairs: Kevin Paulsen 🛠️ This week, I strengthened some weak spots on the robotic arm and made sure everything works as it should, especially with the gripper mechanism. I made the […]

Welcome back to our 8th ToyzRgone blogpost! Below, you will find the contributions made by each of our team members either individually or in pairs: Philip Dahl 🔋 Communication The main goal to start this week off, was to establish communication between Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Since everything stepper related has been run and tested […]

Welcome to the combined sixth and seventh ToyzRgone project blog! Due to a large portion of the team is focusing on resit exams and balancing commitments to other courses, we decided to merge these two weekly updates into one. We’ve made steady progress toward our goal of building a fully functional self-driving robot. Below, you’ll […]

Welcome to the fifth installment of our ToyzRgone project blog! We’ve been working hard for yet another week, getting one step closer to our goal of developing a fully functional self-driving robot. Below, you’ll find the highlights of our progress and the individual contributions made this week. Kevin Paulsen 🛠️ What was done: This week, […]

Welcome back to our blog post for the fourth week of our ToyzRgone smart system project. Below, you will find the contributions made by each of our team members either individually or in pairs: Philip Dahl 🔋 Motor Control This week I began testing the motor we are using for the wheels. The NEMA 17 […]
