1056e81b82Fill out EncoderMotor methods and add variables to be used to calculate position + speed and used for PID. TODO: rename class because it is not a generic EncoderMotor class, should instead be DriveMotor.Matt McWilliams2024-02-17 13:05:43 +0000
1c1978107dMove all ramp variables to class members. To move the ramp behavior to the Loop() method there will need to be a global timer.Matt McWilliams2024-02-17 12:17:26 +0000
344e1e8d1dImplement pwm ramp up with ledcWrite(), not analogWrite(). Use directional pins to start in particular direction and stop in both. Ramp behavior should move to loop so that it is not blocking loop behavior.Matt McWilliams2024-02-16 18:57:57 -0500
4917080517Frame has been resized and new panels have been drafted. Still not perfectly parametric and the const variables are getting out of hand. Needs a refactor at the top and then throughout panel modules first, removing magic numbers. Rounded panel corners at frame corners (one per panel). Printing this draft for possible revision if needed.Matt McWilliams2024-02-04 23:33:15 -0500

670296e5a8Make a draft of the sprocketed roller that is the sold, invert version of the one with top sprockets.Matt McWilliams2024-02-04 18:42:14 -0500
bf48f52333Pass all Setup() and Loop() methods into Arduino setup() and loop() functions.Matt McWilliams2024-02-03 16:35:29 -0500
ffbbb7c3ceWork on frame resizing. Still trying to massage reel distance without cutting aluminum. Wanted to do it tomorrow but will wait until next week after doing tests this weekend. MAYBE: a module that generates a tool for generating a guide that shows how far reels will sit from one another.Matt McWilliams2024-02-02 00:25:51 -0500
e90e5f4ae0Move old design files to scad/old, don't just tag in the name.Matt McWilliams2024-02-02 00:24:32 -0500
eb3c920d2dProject compiles now with scripts/compile.sh and in the IDEMatt McWilliams2024-02-01 11:40:38 -0500
6a1dd305ceMove build script to scripts/scad and update submodules with a script as well.Matt McWilliams2024-02-01 10:42:51 -0500
6321367c97Create EncoderMotor.cpp. Compiler error on analogWrite using ESP32 build target. Without it the ledc* functions are unavailable. Will pull ESP32 build process over from meterlite.Matt McWilliams2024-01-31 23:08:10 -0500
a9944f5a47Caught the error that was making me think I broke my ESP32 dev boards. The ledcWrite() duty cycle was not being set on the pwmChannel. This is intended for LEDS but I don't know if it matters that it's being used for a variable speed DC motor.Matt McWilliams2024-01-30 00:12:36 -0500
fbcd5776eeRe-render all current parts before major overhaul of frame dimensions.Matt McWilliams2024-01-28 15:49:17 -0500

de1ef1492bFix calculate fps, find PWM value that (under no load) is roughly 24fps, calculate rolling fps (very inacurate) ready for analysis in notes and PID implementation.Matt McWilliams2024-01-22 21:31:08 -0500
7e03fadb9fDesign works. Prints and separates from the plate (with some force).Matt McWilliams2024-01-17 18:48:05 -0500
d1302e79fdSketch has been updated to do monitoring of multiple rotations, active monitoring of number of estimated frames. Currently not registering the first ~910 pulses (why??)Matt McWilliams2024-01-13 23:29:25 -0500
86b41954a5Found ratio, seemingly 11PRR x 62:1 motor gearbox.Matt McWilliams2024-01-13 01:33:07 -0500
6eb06ca724Proof of concept encoder analysis. Still to not have a solid gear ratio but it's clear the encoder is very likely 11 PPR. Rotations take ~650 pulses, maybe 660 but it's hard to tell because the gearing makes stopping inconsistent.Matt McWilliams2024-01-12 23:33:04 -0500
da69bf747eBuild and canonicalize all stl files from scad file. Autogenerate list of models from scad if statement at end of scriptMatt McWilliams2023-05-23 11:50:15 -0400
