Week 7 Accomplishments

This week we managed to get the H-bridge to work.  With help from our friend Michael, we wired the H-bridge to run 2 motors pretty well.  We tried to duplicate the wiring on the other side so we could run all 4 motors and it sort of worked.  There wasn't enough power to run all 4 so they all moved extremely slowly.

Week 7 Goals

This week we will start programming the tank to run all 4 motors.  Right now it's set to just move forward and backward at timed intervals.  Eventually, hopefully this week, it will be remote controlled.

Week 6 Friday

Our friend who also works with arduino is helping us with the tank.  He has managed to get us a working code for the H-Bridge and now both of us have started work on wiring the H-Bridge to control a motor.

week 6 goals

we have just gotten back from spring break and now its time to get back to work. we are going to try to search other instructables for guidance and hope for the best. maybe we can get past step one of getting this robot to move.

weekly accomplishments week 4/5

okay so this week me and nick have looked all over for a way to make the motors move. since i have gotten back from colorado me and nick have tried many variations with wiring and codes and nothing has worked yet. hopefully we will have better luck after the break??!

weekly goals 4/5

well for half this week i will be away in Colorado. i will be away on family vacation. when i get back ill maintain the blogs and try to wrap my brain around making the robot go!
