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.

Chuck helped me with the PLC programming to delay my sensor's trigger. We connected the cylinder to air from the Fanuc and I have it on an angle where it'll shoot out the car if the inspection fails. I also helped out on finding screws and washer for the conveyor.

This week I was able to execute the painting program on Fanuc. However, it was just on top of the car. I spent the rest of the week to figure out how to paint on the sides.

This week I worked with Vincent and tried hardwire the FANUC to the PLC.

This week I finally was able to get the conveyor belt the way I want to with the capacitor sensor. The conveyor belt now stops when the block is detected by the sensor so that the wheels and axles can be placed, then resumes slowly for a while for the glue section, and then pauses again one more time towards the end to put on the bracket.

With Chuck's assistance, PLC programming adjustments were made to delay the sensor trigger, ensuring optimal operation. Additionally, efforts were made to integrate a pneumatic cylinder with air from the Fanuc, positioning it at an angle to eject the car upon inspection failure. I worked with Vincent on soldering connectors to the Fanuc and wiring to relays.
