Week 24 (Mar. 27, 2019): Revised Gimbal Motor Velocity Calculations


Today, we realized our velocity calculation was incorrect because we used the wrong radius in the circumference calculation; we erroneously used the diameter (35 mm) as the radius.

We were expecting a velocity of around 1.0 m/s, but 0.88 m/s is good enough, with the new bogie, the new gimbal motor, the new 12V power supply from the boost converter, and a 2:1 gearing set.
