Postion Template Subsystem Test

James
Group: Aadi, Anay, Avika, James, Mason

Goals

• Test the template subsystem

Notes

• Motion Magic is a position controller. It reads a position value from the motor or source and using that to get a voltage and velocity number. It is not a regular PID controller; It is called a PID Motion Profile. Plans out exactly how it wants the position/velocity to go for the wheel.

• When testing Abruticus, the reason the pivot wouldn’t move out of its starting position was because the cruise velocity was zero, meaning there no velocity for the pivot to move.

• Motion Magic takes all the info from the motor; if there is a remote source, motion magic will use that remote source correctly.

Results

• Couldn’t test

• First computer couldn’t connect to robot

• Second computer connected to robot, but didn’t work after that

• SD card on robot was stuck/broken

• Fix during 1/14/26 meeting
