Team AECE 496: Gyrobot Michael Tan Trey Moran Rod Petak Rob Slater Quy Quan
Overview • Planning, organization, setup (Michael) • Component procurement (Trey) • Gyrobot construction (Rod) • Base construction (Rob) • Programming (Quy) • Troubleshooting, future plans (Quy)
OrganizationPersonal involvement: Michael • Assigning tasks • Supervising and providing support • Weekly report • Website
SetupPersonal involvement: Michael • Configuring software • Testing servotogo breakout board
Component ProcurementPersonal involvement: Trey • Motor/Encoder Combo • Shaft Encoder • Bearings and Housing • Shaft and Lock Collar
Motor-Encoder ComboPersonal involvement: Trey • Pittman 9237S011 • 24Vdc • High Torque/Weight Ratio • 500 CPR encoder • Tried and True
Shaft EncoderPersonal involvement: Trey • US Digital E3 • Optical Encoder • 2048 CPR • Quadrature Type • 5/8” Shaft Diameter • Hole Option • Tool Option • Cable Option
Bearings and HousingPersonal involvement: Trey • Dayton-1F636/36/12 • Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene • 5/8” Bore • Very Low Friction • Self Aligning • Inexpensive
Shaft and Lock Collar Personal involvement: Trey • Shaft • Purchased 5/8” x 36” • Cut to 5/8” x 18” • Lock Collar • Necessary to Lock the shaft in place • Design Utilizes only one
Hardware construction(Machined Parts)Personal involvement: Rod • Courtesy of: Custom Equipment (Greenville, SC)
Hardware construction(Link)Personal involvement: Rod • Drawing changes and omissions • No extra holes • No black anodize • Motor mounting modification • Coupler Designed • Join link to 5/8” shaft
Hardware construction(Flywheel)Personal involvement: Rod • Drawing changes and omissions • Steel Vs. Brass • Material Density • Total Price • Motor Coupling • Pressed fit vs. Set Screw fit
Base constructionPersonal involvement: Rob • Design Goals • Stabilization • Zero impedance of flywheel and link • Safe for test phase
Base construction(Stabilization)Personal involvement: Rob • Initial design • Platform with extension • C clamps • Final Design • Smaller Platform • Incorporating interface wiring
Base construction(Low Impedance)Personal involvement: Rob • Wire length • Enough for test phase • Keeping the wires neat • Problems and Solutions • Wires were sporadic, tie wraps • Wires caught end of platform extension, location of wraps • Gyrobot could malfunction, kill switch
Programming(Control)Personal involvement: Quy • Swing up control • Balancing control
Programming(Swing up Control)Personal involvement: Quy • Non-collocated • Collocated • Sinusoidal • Not exceed +-10V at any angle • Maximum effort near rest position • Minimum effort through inverted position
Programming(Balancing Control)Personal involvement: Quy • PID (Proportional, Integral, & Derivative) • PD (Proportional & Derivative) • Simplest control for inverted pendulum
Problem Mandrel has too much friction Solution Used polyethylene bearings instead Problem The motor encoder was not providing correct output Solution Found that GND and +5 pins are switched Troubleshooting
Current Progress • One week behind schedule • More time will have to be spent on programming to catch up to deadline
Future plans • Prepare balancing system for Bonus Day • Optimize program for Competition Day
