WEEK 11 (FYP 2)

WEEK 11

Testing Robotic Arm

I checked the robotic arm movement on week 11 after solving the problem, and placed the circuit on the hand motion controller. I used rider's glove to make wearing and using it simpler for users. I have not had the punch to make hole on the circuit board since the MCO. Therefore, I chose to stitch the circuit and battery on the glove. I tested the robotic arm after that and it is functioning as expected. The robotic arm followed my movement of the hand, for example, I raise my arm up and the robotic arm will move up too. I put the box on the robotic arm to make secure when the object lifted, and the box must be heavier than the robotic arm. The table below shows the movement of the robotic arm based on hand motion.

Hand Motion (Arm)	Robotic Arm
Moving Up	Move Up
Moving Down	Move Down
Turn Right	Open Gripper
Turn Left	Close Gripper

WEEK 10 (FYP 2)

WEEK 10

Tested Circuit and Robotic Arm

            I checked my circuit this week, either its working or it has some problem because I am already taking my robotic arm chassis at Global Electromech Sdn Bhd. This project result is 100% on prototype and need to prove it. The price of the chassis for the robotic arm is RM389.00 because I select steel material to improve consistency and strength. The gripper designed to use the grip gear, which can hold any object securely while lifting. The robotic arm need to use direct current because it is using more power and not enough for just using battery.

After that, I checked my circuit board to see if the circuit was working or problem. The circuit is work but the motion sensor was not detected and the AT mega became hot. I evaluated the part and the program, and then identify the problem on the IC AT mega. Luckily, I had spare part on every component that in case for any trouble.
