In class today, we started taking measurements of our parts in order to design our car chassis in Fusion. We researched how ESC works, including calibration. We started coding for the joystick with the RF transmitters. To code, we familiarized ourselves with the radio codes on Arduino.
We also started designing the chassis. We think we know the general design of our chassis (that is to replicate a F1 car chassis); however, for our own car, we need to make a more specific design which we have started considering.
Next class, we hope to further our car chassis design, work on our wiring for our motor, and hopefully work on finishing our Voltera Punk Console because we will have the solder paste as well.
My group split into two--one working on the mechanical part of the project, and the other on the electrical--to be mroe efficient (that's also how professional engineers work). Are you doing the same thing? Are you considering doing the same thing?
When calibrating the ESC, what specific parameters are you adjusting, and how are you planning to determine the optimal settings?
Are you planning to 3D print the chassis or use another method once the design is finalized in Fusion?
How are you planning to do the remote control part? We'll have to figure out the same thing so I'm wondering what you're doing.
