Mechatronics Project - Finished at Last!

As you may probably have figured out, ive been really busy the past week with various projects and assignments. But i just had to show off our completed mechatronics project.

Task: to build a system using a conveyor belt, single or double acting cylinders, a PLC, valves and sensors and to write its program.

It took us one whole day of skipping classes, just to build it, never mind the concept and the program etc etc.. and im very, very proud of it, k? Might not look like much (what to do, low budget mah..) but hey, it works .. and its cute. I'll put a movie clip just to show off oncw ivw converted it to a .swf file cos my pic host doesnt accept avi formats. Dang. Anyway, just praise me, make me happy k:)

Our wiring for the PLC. Complicated leh .. we're very proud of it, no help at all :) We skipped classes to stay in the FMS room all day to work on it.. bad idea cos three hours into the project i got a call from my roomie - thermo quiz!! We had to run from our building all the way to the lecture theatre..and me in my roomies shoes, one size to small..

One last pic..couldnt resist. had to go scavenging around for all those parts.. it pays to make friends with the technicians :) Finished at last.. so happy :) .. now all thats left is about a ton of paperwork.. sigh..i should have just taken up baking.. ive found more than one person willing to be my silent partner..eheheh

The fourth years were there doing there robotics and automation project... massive machinary .. but they assemble these really cute little houses.
