Week 7 – Identify problem
Objective for this week :
- To test the communication between the hardware and the software.
Description:
- This week, I tried to run the project to see if the software can connect to the hardware. For the first test attempt:
- Micro controller able to communicate with all sensors, limit switches, switches, LCD and motor.
- Micro controller are able to detect the signal that trigger by the switches (2 limit switches, mode button and reset button).
- Sensors are able to send data to the micro controller.
- Motor able to rotate in the direction controlled by the micro controller.
- However, after a number of tests conducted, the motor can not stand the weight of the solar panel. The motor makes noise when it tries to rotate the solar panel. So I had to stop this test and find a solution to this problem.
