Small Scale Controls Team

Today, we presented our first presentation of our second semester of ME 195B - Senior Design Project, making it our 4th presentation overall, throughout the entire duration of senior project, since last semester.  Please refer to our Presentation #1, embedded below.  Up to now, we have gathered all of our major components and are starting to prototype one small-scale podcar. Although, if we find that we need to buy a smaller component, we do so immediately to get ahead of the delivery time. Besides the gimbal motor and the accompanying ESC (electronic speed control), we have tested all the parts and have found that they all work individually.  Despite the fact that there's limited information on gimbal motors on the internet, we found some Arduino code to run the gimbal motor and ESC. However, regarding the connections, we have all but one connection - the connection between the ESC and the battery; all we need is an XT60 connector to connect the ESC to the battery;
