Week 14 & 15: Spartan Superway Controls
With the final weeks of the Fall semester coming to an end, we started creating our final presentations to show our rapid prototype to the other teams. Overall, we were very successful this semester in creating our prime design, resulting in a working prototype that we are able to test using the motors, RFID tags, and Xbee modules. We acknowledged that our control system works as predicted and the components run as expected. We were able to combine our work with the mechanical bogie team and test everything on a section of the new track and found that everything worked perfectly together. For next semester, we plan to spend more time on the mobile application, Firebase, and the node.js server in order to get a ticket purchase to activate a bogie.
