This week our team reached a mile stone as we were able to get the programming for our motor to work so that it could rotate the outer frame of our system. Although the system still has a long way to come before it will be complete, we are still able to control how much the motor moves by the angle and number of rotations. Our controls team was able to accomplish this using labview and NI-max. The next steps with the controls team will be to integrate limit switches into the system. this will allow us to limit the rotation of the frame to 180 in both directions. The code will also continue to be modified and improved and all bugs will be worked out. On the manufacturing side of things, we are continuing to update our solidworks models and drawings. we are also looking to improve the gear ratio between the motor and frame. this will give us more accuracy as we rotate the motor and will hopefully bring us up to the our goal accuracy of withing .1 degrees. We will also be sending parts to the machine shop to so that we can begin to assemble more of the test frame and so that we can start testing the loads on the frame
