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:
  1. Micro controller able to communicate with all sensors, limit switches, switches, LCD  and motor.
  2. Micro controller are able to detect the signal that trigger by the switches (2 limit switches, mode button and reset button).
  3. Sensors are able to send data to the micro controller.
  4. 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.
