Automatic Whiteboard Wiper Last Time – Prototype Presentation I Chose metal parts, presented pulleys, and control board options This Time – Prototype Presentation II Metal received, pulleys and cables, backing material, and control board selection
3
Motor Function Motors Function Properly! – (Demonstration)
4
Motor Controller Problems Inadequate current output Complicated interface Outputs only allow for one motor Problems with some of the controllers considered Sizing the power supplyCommunicating with the microcontroller
5
Motor Controller Selection 1064 – PhidgetMotorControl HC Minimum Power Supply Voltage 6V Maximum Power Supply Voltage 15V Continuous Motor Current 14A

Track & Wheel Research Alternatives to the $45.00 8020 Inc. wheel and bracket combo were researched. Option 1: Drawer slide C-bracket combined with fitted steel castor wheel Option 2: Creation of custom wheel and bracket combination to fit 8020 Inc. 1010 aluminum profile cutout. Option 3: Stay with current selection.

Pulley & Cable Research Plastic pulleys of an acceptable diameter were found at The Home Depot. The removal of pulley from the bracket is possible in order to stack pulleys as needed. A mount and axel assembly can be created in order to adapt the pulleys for the prototype. A plastic sleeved steel cable with an acceptable cross-sectional diameter was found to fit the pulley, basic friction tests were performed to ensure that the cable can grip the pulley.
