Week 9 Update

 Chris, Natalie, and Cameron: This week we spent some time in the Adams shop working on drilling and milling out the gearbox interface on the aluminum telescoping tubing. 

Fig 1. The gearbox interface on the steel plate was used as a template for the aluminum TT.

Chris and Natalie are going to the Adams shop the morning of Wednesday 3/23 to work on bending the aluminum tubing that will serve as a support brace around the back of the exoskeleton.

this week we worked closely with Dr. Kim to ensure that the labview program that was made would work properly with a future potiometer control. Along with this we took meaurements of voltage that the potiometer would read out depending on the position of the knob. In addition to this, we also received the new motor and tested with it to endure that it communicates well with the program we had made as well with the native program from polulu. with this new motor, once we test the motor with the 50:1 gearbox, we can then determine if this motor would be something to go forward with or not. Attached below will be imaged of the LABVEIW program along with the excel sheet for the potiometer.
