Progress Report for 10/30/19

Goals to accomplish for the week of 10/23/19-10/29/19:

• Modify motor and load cell code
• Verify code works and travels the appropriate distance and speed
• Configure code with MATLAB??

Progress for the week of 10/23/19-10/29/19:

• Copy of modified code can be found here under the appropriate date: 
• https://docs.google.com/document/d/13rn23kiAMY7ovi3cRF-_pt-kocN8uBqWrs1T-pzl6as/edit?usp=sharing
• Code is functional, travels the appropriate distance, however it's really slow. It took 20 minutes for the motor to travel 1000 steps which is equal to 1 cm.
• Found that the issue is what the set sampling frequency (LM) and need to test different speeds under the motor's set speed function
• Need to test if at x speed, it travels at this number of steps/distance
• Motor Speed Calculations can be seen here:
• https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlH1zqeTVPzaDHHW-sWdeF39lFdBxtBKXnJqBRSrW5c/edit?usp=sharing
• Planning to test out these speeds/frequencies for the motor using only the motor code to see if it can achieve the appropriate distance in relation to this calculation at these specified speeds
• These tests are also used to determine what speed frequency would be the best to set the motor frequency (fm) in relation to load cell frequency (fs) so that it travels at an efficient rate
• Intend to perform this test on 10/28/2019
