Funtioning Of The Chassis.

There were quite a few ups and downs in this project. The wheels were rotating and we could set the LDR's to follow the line. However, there seemed to be a fault with the right motor and we had to halt the testing of our buggy whilst following the line. We had to focus on the right motor. In this process, we did quite a few things to test the right motor. One of the things we did was to change the wires of the left motor with that of the right. The video of us doing this is shown below.

Changing of Wires

There was no result in the functioning of the right motor.

We also connected the wires to the actual motor to see if the motor was not damaged. The wheel at this point did rotate meaning it was something in the circuitry ( which we doubted ), or the connection of the wires was not strong via the soldering.

When we re soldered the wires to the right motor , it started to work. This stage can be seen in the video below.

Finally Working Again

We then connected the circuitry back up to the chassis to see if the power of the right motor was enough to drive the chassis forward again. The video of this can be seen below.

Moving Again

We can now finally configure the chassis to the right setting of the LDR's to make the buggy follow the line !

Hopefully you can all meet me tommorow so we can get this done.
