Week 13: Writing the PID() Code for the Suspension Assembly

This week, I was able to write the Arduino code for the suspension assembly, which utilizes the PID() function from Arduino. The Kp, Ki, and Kd constants will need to be calibrated once the suspension is built. I also 3D printed a housing for the joystick and toggle switch with help from Kevin and Brynn.

Week 12: General Meeting and Writing the Test Frame Code

This week we had a general meeting with all of ME195 to discuss the next paper that is due.

Afterwards, I was able to develop the test frame code that involves using a joystick and toggle switch to control the linear actuator for the test frame. We also went to the ME41 tech shop to fabricate a some materials needed for our suspension assembly.

Week 11: Presentation 2

This week we updated our teammates about our progress this semester through our second presentation. The presentation can be found below.
