# Ex Dep Programming Planning ## Actuation ### Motors / Sensors: - Linear Actuator (2) - Limit Switch (2 per side) ### Logic - Actuating for digging - Run Linear Actuator forward - Stop when limit switch near the excavation system is pressed - Run process on both sides of robot, wait until both sides are finished to continue to next step - Actuating for driving - Run Linear Actuator backward - Stop when limit switch near the chassis is pressed - Run process on both sides of robot, wait until both sides are finished to continue to next step ## Excavation ### Motors / Sensors - Motor for digging gravel (1) (w/ current feedback) - Motor for moving excavation up and down (1) - Limit Switch (2) ### Logic - Digging Gravel - Move motor to move excavation downwards - Stop motor when limit switch at bottom of subsystem is pressed - Start digging motor to run at certain torque - Use PID loop and current feedback to change output of motor - **TODO:** Check logic to see if more complex current logic is needed - Stop digging motor after weight sensor is detected to exceed threshold - Move motor to move excavation upwards - Stop motor when limit swithc at top of subsystem is pressed ## Deposition ### Motors / Sensors - Motor for dumping gravel (1) - Weight Sensor (1) - Limit Switch (2) ### Logic - Dumping Gravel - Run motor forward - Stop when limit switch near end of deposition is pressed - Wait for a bit of time - Run motor backward - Stop when limit switch near the start of deposition is pressed
