By: Tae Min Lee (Mission, Systems, and Testing Engineer) As we get closer to the final product we started implementing the Arxterra Control Panel that will be used for the demo. The Arxterra Control Panel will be used to control the Goliath and provide a live video feed from an android phone with a periscope. […]
By: Tae Min Lee (Mission, Systems, and Testing Engineer) In order to use the Arxterra control panel we need to first implement the Arxterra firmware for the Goliath. After testing the Arxterra firmware we encountered a problem with the motor control. Since, the Arxterra firmware is implemented to using TB6612FNG motor control we had to […]
By: Tae Lee (Systems Engineer) IR Sensor Code To implement the laser tag game we have to show an indication of when the Goliath gets hit by the enemy’s IR LED. This will be shown through the three LEDs we will be using to indicate the number of hits. The following code shown below will […]
By: Jerry Lui, Rickeisha Brown (Manufacturing Engineers): Given the requirement of having the phone housed within the body of the rover the body must accommodate for the dimensions of the particular phone being used. In this case, a Samsung Galaxy S4 is being used as the camera for the rover and has the dimensions of […]
By: Tae Min Lee (Missions, Systems, and Testing Engineer) We have to make sure that the level 1 requirement for safety has been addressed before we start implementing the laser tag system we will be using for our product. Problem: The first design of implementing the laser tag game was to use a laser module […]
By: : Tae Min Lee (Missions, Systems, and Testing Engineer) IR Mid-Range Proximity Sensor Implementing a game of laser tag using IR emitter/receiver will be safe for to play for all ages. This falls back to one of our level 1 requirements for safety standards for child safe toys. The figure above shows the connections […]
Goliath Bluetooth Module HC-06 Test By: Tae Min Lee (Mission, Systems, and Testing Engineer) One of the requirements of the Goliath was using the Arxterra Control Panel and the Arxterra application. Since, the 3Dot board was not given at the time we had to find an alternative to test the Bluetooth module (HC-06). Before we […]
By: Kevin Moran (Electronics and Control Engineer), Tae Lee ( Systems Engineer) Our team’s mission is to decide the better approach for a game of laser tag, either by using lasers and light detecting sensors, or by using IR Receivers and LEDs. From the research we concluded on proceeding to test Photo-resistors and lasers […]
By: Kevin Moran (Electronics and Control Engineer) After carefully reviewing motors on the market, the two motors presented above were selected; the GM9-Gear and DG1D motors. These two motors are very easy to obtain and the price is within our cost margins. They require a voltage output that is within the capabilities of the 3DoT […]
By: Ayman Aljohani (Project Manager): Table of Contents MISSION OBJECTIVE: Inspired by the German Goliath, 3DOT Goliath is designed utilizing 3DOT board, with the minimum 3-D printing time. The 3-DOT Goliath will battle 3DOT Spider, tag battle, utilizing optical transmission and receiving device. The 3DOT should be controlled via live camera, periscope, on an Android […]
