Agenda

  1. We will start class with a short Zoom meeting. For meeting details: Office Hours and Zoom

  2. The arm group can go ahead and try connecting tubing from the valves to the actuators. I can walk you through running the valve control script. I left a bag of assorted tubing in A11 along with the parts organizer which includes the cutter. You’ll want to use the upper valve board; from left to right the outputs are is push1, pull1, push2, pull2.

  3. Boom wheel group, thanks for getting the new wheel in place, I just saw it moving a bit. You can work on programming some kind of test or performance.

  4. If you do get locked out of A11, you can consult the staff, plus there is a key available for checkout at Lending. It has a tag on it saying “A11 theater” and a key code of CJB 48.

  5. Please do not unplug any Arduinos; we can stop the movement by shutting down the demo scripts. The I/O servers can just stay running and connected as long as the valve and motor drivers stay on.

  6. Sample performance scripts:
