Overview
The Programmable Stiffness Joint is a device that takes a user input (turning a simple dial) and adjusts its stiffness to the desired level.
The goal of our project is:
This is how it works:
We will discuss:
Mechanical Design
The primary structural components used in this device are:
The sensors/actuators used are:
Electrical Design
The primary components used in this circuit are:
- Controller (PIC)
- H-Bridge
- Hall Sensors
- Schmidt Triggers
Code
Results
Our resulting design:
Reflections
- More planning
- Simpler mechanical design
- More efficient code
