Week 8_ 3/27/19

This week we presented our second powerpoint to the class. I worked on the wireless communication portion and a couple of the beginning slides. I also helped with correcting the titles to make sure they are descriptive statements.

Week 12_ 5/1/19

Since it is close to the end of the project term. We are deciding to dismiss the wireless capabilities and have that as a future goal for next year. The team still has a lot to get done before we are able to present the bogie. I helped with moving the poles into the room and measuring it so that the pole is ready to be cut.

Week 7_ 3/20/19

I purchased the 10 NRFL01 wireless modules on Amazon for $11. We will be using 1 of them for the master bogie. I researched how to set up the modules while they are being shipped and have found example codes for the receiver and transmitter code shown in Figure 1 below and have tried to see if it will work. It seems that the code is sending the "Hello World" text but with noise/ junk between each sent message on the Serial Monitor.                         Figure 1.a. Receiver module code on Arduino                       Figure 1.b Transmitter code on Arduino The wiring should be as in Figure 2 below with the supply voltage being 3.3V instead of 5V. Figure 2.

Week 1 Week one of senior project consists of meeting our teammates who have previously been assigned to us based on project interests. The half-scale was my first choice out of the other full-scale and small-scale teams but I was wary of whether the full scale would be of greater interests. My initial reasons for wanting to be in the half-scale team included the fact that with the half-scale, I would be able to learn about the Superway project on a broader scale. Since automobiles and mechatronics are not my specialties, my hopes with this project are to see what I can learn from it. But after I heard of the possibilities that the half-scale holds, I decided to be apart of the team.  Learning that the current bogie status will not make it up the 17-degree incline, my teammates: Oscar Balvaneda, Hector Gomez, Matthew Leal, and Karandeep Singh and I discussed the possibilities of including a new motor and possibly a different wayside power approach. Week 2 With our ambit...
