Evan's Final Project Log


Project Proposal:

 

As of now my final project proposal is to create a mini catapult, which will have its power/range and direction controlled wirelessly by a smart phone.   

 

 

Class 4.4.12

 

Today, what is the current highest risk part of your project?

     Figuring out the schematic I'm working with

 

what is your plan to alleviate that risk?

     Spend time understanding it

 

what is you plan to do for/in next class?

     Work on getting my Ardunio to control the motors and servos that I have so far.

 

what actually happened?

     Only ended up connecting my Arduino to the car inputs  

 

What will you do before the next class meeting?

     order the right Bluetooth module

 

What problems did you run in to

     Minor issues soldering connections to the car inputs

      

What is your plan forward?

      

what parts, information, and assistance do you need ?

     the correct Bluetooth module

 

Class 4.11.12

 

Today, what is the current highest risk part of your project?

     Figuring out whether I have been connecting my arduino to the correct RC outputs

 

what is your plan to alleviate that risk?

     finish the connection and test it!

 

what is you plan to do for/in next class?

     finish the connection and test it!.

 

what actually happened?

      I was able to finish all of the connections but not able to upload the software to my Arduino to test it.

 

What will you do before the next class meeting?

     Get the code up and running on my Arduino and see if my connections are correct. ill also try to start designing/building elements of my catapult.

 

What problems did you run in to

     didn't have enough time to test and troubleshoot my connections in class. 

 

 

What is your plan forward?
