2nd week

In this second week, we've given up the work well, as it was our last week of the challenge.
Some of us have completed some exercises that we had to deliver at the end of the challenge, with the "TIA PORTAL" program. Others have dedicated ourselves to finishing the challenge panel, as we have had some small flaws.We had to stay in the afternoons to finish the challenge, as it was not going to give us time, and so we took the opportunity to study for the challenge exam.

The exam we have done this week has been a little complicated, we used the TIA PORTAL to schedule and the exam we had to do the programming of a conveyor belt that moved boxes, once the exam was finished we had to teach the programming so that the teacher saw it, and then there was a written part in which we had to write the exercise data, the note we were told that they will give it to us throughout this week hopefully we will get lucky and approve the whole team. AUPA THE PROGRAMMERS!!!!!!




We finished this last challenge, tomorrow we will start with a new one, it's an ABB robotic hand, it has to distinguish some colors and depending in the color it has to place the pieces in different places.
We need to use coordinates and a new programming language similar to C++.
It's going to be very challenging, is something new and we are going to try our best, we have to aim higher than the last challenge.





In conclusion we have work harder in the next challenge because as the first challenge we have started more relaxed and we have taken it so calmly that we finnish just in time. We need to hold an emergency meeting to agree on how to organize the next challenge so as not to have the same problems and thus save time. I believe that if we organize well from the beginning we will be able to take everything up to date without problems, and when it comes to managing incidents, do it efficiently.




And on the part of "IKASEMPRESA" this week we have created a company called "NOVIMI" (Do Not Live with Fear) in Spanish. It is a company with which we will say goodbye to the keys to open doors of home, the portal etc... . From now on we want the access to these sites to be automatic either with voice or with our fingerprint. This system is very safe since there is no physical key you don't have to be afraid to lose it and they can steal you, hence the name of our company.
And what we've done is create the first steps of the company; like the name, the logo, the slogan and explain a little bit about which the company is based

1st week

Last week, we continued with the groupal project, it's been very challenging.

Some of us are focusing on the main project, meanwhile other members are working on the other parts of the project, like doing FOL work or even doing the excersices planned on moodle.

We hope we can end the project this week, so we have time to perfect the program, and do other various things, like installing the HMI.

The HMI is a touch-screen which we will use to display info.

Those of us who are with the part of the exercises that we have in moodle to deliver, we have connected two PLC'S to the two computers to advance faster in the challenge. Once the exercises are done, we need to explain to the partners how we have done so that when the test arrives, we all do it well. The PLC has 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs + analog inputs and outputs.
 On your computer we have a program called " TIA Portal V13, that we use to program the programs that send us. Then once programmed, we connect it by network to the PLC to simulate.






In the princial job we had many troubles like:
   - The wiring was messy.
   - Many of pneumatic tubes had leakes.
   - The engines does not work.
   - The program inside the automata was corrupt.
   - Most parts of the model were broken.
   - The HMI is impossible to connect with the TIAportal program.
   - The sensors wasnt detec how they should it.




To correct the errors that have arisen we have joined the group and we have started to talk to know how to correct them once we did that we have gone step by step to go correcting it also this Friday we have examination and we are a little nervous to see how we get , but we're confident we're going to do well. the model of the project is giving us problems but thanks to the team we were able to fix it. The following challenges we will try to improve and learn so that we can get better



On the part of "IKASEMPRESA" last week we went to a Iurreta school to an event that was organized for the students that these year are going to make a imaginary company in this asignature. There they explained to us what this project is based on and they taught us different projects that people had done.
The next week in class we have to create a company with an innovative idea that could come true later. Our group has decided to make a hands-free access system to enter to the portal or our own home. This system is effective for those times when we forget the keys or simply do not want to ger our hands on.
