Week 14 Testing

We have finished the wiring last week, and we have started to test the motor controller and the motor. We double checked the connection and the motor isn't spinning. The motor controller is giving out an error code. The error code cannot be found in the manual. We have emailed the manufacturer to troubleshoot this issue. Hope they can get back to us soon.

Week 13 Connection Wiring

We have found the wiring diagram from the user manual. The package didn't come with the connector, but there is an adaptor. In order to make a secure connection to the motor, we have to solder some wires to the connector. After we make the adaptor, we can start testing on the controller but sending an analog signal to the throttle input. It should get the motor spinning! Then it will be just some configurations on the Arduino!! Here is the wiring diagram from the user manual.

Week 12 Presentation 2

Today is the day for presentation 2. Since we shrinked two weeks of presentation to one week, every team needs to present today. Here are the slides for our presentation. Enjoy!!

Week 11 Delay of Presentation 2

Since everyone is working hard on manufacturing their parts, Dr. Furman pushed the Presentation 2 to 4/11 so everyone has extra time to work on the presentation. The motor and motor controller came in last weekend. We have started to look at the manual and wiring diagram to see how we connect the motor and motor controller together along with Arduino.
