* Lab in-personnel: Himangshu
| 1140 | 1D source mover test |
|---|---|
| 1200 | Arduino UNO and board keeps getting disconnected from the software that controls it. Looked up possible reasons |
| 1230 | Removed motor coils leads from the setup as one forum says that the load might be too high . Pressed RESET button on the Arduino to see if that helps. Nope |
| 1245 | While trying to re-install the create_bridge_Arduino file, there seems to be two versions, one for chrome and one for firefox. We are running arduino.cc from Chrome, lets try it from a firefox browser. |
| 1300 | Problem seem to have resolved, no more disconnections. |
| 1400 | Setup the Oscilloscope to look at the waveforms before plugging in the motor coils. |
| 1410 | Seems like number of steps corresponds to one step function which change direction after every 2 steps |
| 1500 | Plugged in motor coils to see movement. No movement. |
|---|---|
| 1521 | Checked all connections, they read fine. Connected a multimeter in series to look for current in the coils, no current flow in any of the coils |
