In this this week, we tried to determine the size of the ferrous strip. According to the control team and the bogie team, the magnets detector on the bogie will be kept. Keeping the magnet detector will allow us to stay with digital ouput sensor. However, the magnet detectors are occupying too much sapce on the bogie, which became a problem for us to install the metal strip on the track. We came up with a proposing solution for this, that is to cut out the upper part of the magnet detector, and we will attach the corrugated metal strip just right above the position of the magnet detector. The upper part of the magnet dector is for placing the screws, but currently the detector are mounted using glue. Thus, the screw holes are no longer needed.
The team also examinize the track, and found that the distance between the two side of the tracks are different every where, it is a big problem for us to decide the size of the corrugated metal strip in this case.
We already found a nice size hall effect sensor. The rest thing depended on how small of the strip we can make.
