WEEK 4

TESTING SENSORS AND CONTROLLER 

On Tuesday 13/2/2018, I have a meeting with Dr. Masum to discuss about my progress on my project. Dr. Masum ask whether I have test on all the component that I've bought last week which was on my previous post on Week 3. Unfortunately I have not test any of the component so this week I've given new task by Dr. Masum which was to test all the component (sensors and controller).

This week I've been given the task by Dr. Masum such as:

a) To programming the Gyro Sensor
b) To find the angular velocity
    - Differentiate the angular velocity and angular displacement
    - find the angular displacement either in degree or radian
c) To set up the servo motor, servo motor driver and arduino uno
d) To build a prototype

Along with the testing component, Dr. Masum also give me new component to test with the sensor also at the same time it will show how my project works . This indirectly act as the prototype of my project as well as I can understand more on how my project will run. The component that Dr. Masum gave me are:

a) servo motor 
b) Servo motor driver

My supervisor also give the link for the reference to test the servo motor driver and servo motor as well as to test the gyro sensor. However I only have done on the connection of all the component but the whole testing progress did not successfully done due to insufficient component. Below are the vision of how my prototype looks like and the connection on board for the testing component.
