the wheel is still falling off during thesting because of high torque #56

need to find a way to fix the wheel on the motor shaft so that it holds in place during testing

genamag commented 5 months ago

attached the wheel with super glue, it seems to hold just fine. We also minimised max duty cycle to 0.5 to minimise the maximum torque created not to break the last remaining 3D-printed wheel

genamag commented 5 months ago

Even if the glue holds the wheel in place, there is still some torque and friction happening, which just melts down the glue, and it stops doing its job.

Solution: don't test it for too long and make breaks between tests to make sure that the glue hardens again
