Week #11 (4/4-4/8) Weekly Progress Report

[rjagodowski]

Post your progress, contributions, work and anything else you did for the Team project here.

There will be a separate Topic for each week during the semester.

These are individual posts, so each member must post their own progress report. If you worked with others, or the entire group, then you can mention that in your post as well. But each member must post to receive credit for this week's post.

(Tuesday) - Today I worked with Korey and Cole to troubleshoot the input pins on the Dobot. When we tried to send it a 3.3 volt signal, it would read the input as on and off, but we figured out that we need a constant 5 v source to keep the input on. Then we configured another pin to be an output, 12 volts, to use as our done bit.

(Thursday) - I worked with Korey once again to put in the final wiring for the Dobot. We took out the smaller track it had and put in a bigger track which meant we needed to raise the translation table up. We ran the wires we needed for the inputs, one output, and the constant 5v source needed for the IO to work. Cole soldered the wires to a female end to be able to plug them in, meanwhile we put labels to easily identify them.

Tuesday- mounted the plc panel on to a sturdier base then worked with the Dobot. We had to figure out why the dobot was not receiving the PLC signals correctly. The issue was that we needed to add 5 volts to the pin in order for it function correctly. Thursday the goal is to modify the program and start recording points. Also need to finalize a way for the wires from the dobot to move around safely without pulling out.

Thrusday; made a container to keep the arduino in with both the Ph sensor and Thermoster to be able to protect the circuit, and helped with the assembly

This week I helpped Jorge and Korey with the Dobot and the wiring for the inputs and the 5 volt and 12 volt power source. I helped them trouble shoot the pins on the Dobot. I also soldered the wires to a female end so we could plug wires into the dobot for the power sources and inputs for the plc and dobot the communicate.

made portable control board for HMI and E stop attach with it. for easy movement and easy access.

I finished soldering the I/O wires to the Fanuc and tested them to ensure that they worked properly.
