attach the belts and the sensors connect all the electronic connect to the SPOT hotspot

unglazedstamp commented 4 months ago

The electronic is now connected and functional (the broken ESP32 board has been replaced). The SPOT hotspot isn't usable because of the too wide ip range. The belts are attached, the sensors are glued on the v3, they have to be moved to the v4.

The initial ESP32 has died unexpectedly last week (see issue #54). I replaced it with an ESP32 C6.

We had issues with the precision of the axis. These have be resolved with a different slit design for the belt and adjustment of the speed and rotation axis height.

It can happen sometimes that the esp32 reboot. After some investigation we concluded that it is an electric issue. I replaced the motor controllers because the professor told us that these boards can misbehave randomly if they have been damaged. This didn't solve the issue. After some deeper investigation we found that it's probably the input voltage that could have been higher.
