Week 11/9 to 11/16

This week, the team had talked to the software development team regarding to the algorithm of position sensing. After the discussion, the team decided to use the station ID as one of the reference for position sensor. However, after meeting with the software development team, the team also found we need to have reference for position sensing after track switching, and the issue will be discussed with the control team about the magnet and sensor they will be using.

The team gathered and came up with a design on the holder for the sensor with the new magnet. However, the CAD drawing was not able to be completed in this week after the team spending significant amount of time on designing a proper holder.

Since November is ending, the team will arrange more meetings at the end of the 3rd week if November and the 4th week because of the holidays. Hopefully, the sensor holder will be completely built.

The team like to test the sensors on a piece of corrugated sheet metal with fine corrugations. However, the corrugated sheet metal is not arriving and the website does not provide any tracking resources. The sheet metal will be cut in to strip and tested after its arrival.
