ELEVENTH WEEK

XABI

This week we only had 2 days to finish the challenge since the days 6 (Day of the Spanish Constitution), 7 and 8 (Immaculate Coception) of December are festive. This "File2" is a classifier of pieces with different sensors to detect them. What we have had to do is that the program differentiates 3 types of pieces, although we wanted to make a recreation of "the Lord of the rings". The pieces went by a tape that was activated when an initial sensor detected piece, then the piece went to another detector where it detected what type of piece was. Afterwards, piece A(Frodo) was diverted thanks to a servomotor(Gandalf) to a conveyer belt, piece B(Gollum) was diverted to another different conveyer belt thanks to the servomotor and piece C(Sauron) returned to the back by the conveyer belt that had advanced until detecting the final sensor of piece C.

After creating the program, we had to make another screen like "File1" with graphics, recipes, alarms etc... Finally, we can say that as a complication this "Card 2" had the configuration of the variable frequency drive for the movement of the conveyer belt and the programming for the drive for the servo motor.

This week we started with the tab 2. We have to create a process in which a tape carries a piece to a detector. This detector will differentiate the piece and according to what type of piece the piece will go through one tape or the other. This will be done through a servomotor. Finally, if the piece is waste, the tape will go back to the waste sensor where the tape stops.

For this project we have used the faces of some of the characters of the Lord of the Rings. Since the three of us are vast fans of these movies. We hope to go well in time and that we all come out with the presentation. Since we have had problems with the servomotor. Even so we trust that everything is good for us.





LANDER

This week has been a really short week, with only 2 days to work. The objetive was to end the second part of the challenge and use the next monday (Last day) to fix the small problems. Keeping that in mind we worked fast on the screen and as soons as we finished with it we implemented the communication module, Servo and variable frequency drive.

• The communication module is to be able to use external inputs and outputs like switches. 
• The servo simulates how the programa decides with tape the product follows.

• The variable frequency drive simulates the speed and direction of the first tape.

We decided to use a "The Lord of the Rings" theme for the screen design, being Gandalf the one who blocks the ways that arent available. As it can be seen in the image there is an initial sensor which detects the product and makes the first tape work. When the product arrives to the next group of sensors we get to know which type of product is on the tape and so we decide how to proccess.
