# Testing RIG

**Description refers to old rover assembly uploaded in Google Drive(Huge_ASS)**

### Justification

Software team needs to test and debug their motor controlling software. During last iteration it often came to collision between software team and PC while working on prototype.

To solve this problem test rig should be built.

### Requierements

**Funct.**
**1.** Testing rig must copy the functionality of Vertical Joint and Wheel assembly (*DRS_UC_SUS_ass*) presented in CAD
**1.1** Testing rig must represent two axis rotational system
**1.2** Testing rig must use current wheel motor and VJ motor as actors (datasheets on GoogleDrive)
**1.3** Both axis must allow rotational tracking
comment: i assume this means encoders on the output of the motors? in which case both will use the the same encoder is in the current VJ... make sure to plan with cables in mind

**2.** Testing rig must allow interchangeability of it's components
comment: this includes motors, encoders and PCBs as well as cables.
**2.1** Testing rig must be easy to assemble/reassemble
**2.2** ESC mounting must be easy accesible
comment: again... if the whole thing rotates the cables have to reach the ESC... keep that in mind. put some thought into preventing tension on cables, especially on the VJ motor. best thing would be if all cables from motors are bundled togther and fixed to the rig (not floating around)

**3.** Test rig must stand stable on an even surface without additional fastening elements while both axis rotating

### Goals
1. Cost and time needed for manufacturing necessary parts should be minimized (Consider buying Normteile, different manufacturing methods etc.)
2. Parts should be easy to assemble and disassemble without destruction
