Videos - The Coin Bot

Jump to This Time	Transcription Text
00:00:00	in this video I wanted to talk about a couple of quick updates that I made to the coin sorder software in the last video I talked about how the coin sorder starts in the home position and then accepts user input so that the user can
00:00:13	tell the coin sorder what position to move to next the software then decides whether to move forwards or backwards in order to get to the next position most efficiently what I didn't tell you was that in the last video I was actually
00:00:26	moving the coin sorder to that home position manually but in this version of the software when you start it up it actually moves to the home position now automatically and then it allows for the user input that I talked about before
00:00:39	the next problem I solved with the coin sorter was something that had plagued me for a couple of days I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the number of steps between positions on the coin stacker was off by a factor of 10 I was
00:00:52	calculating it to be 18 steps between positions and it turned out to be 182 steps in yesterday's video I actually hardcoded that number into the software but the update that I made today I was able to actually do that calculation on
00:01:08	the Fly and if any of you can figure out exactly what that problem was by looking at the way the coin sorder and the steper motor are set up please leave a comment down below but I think that's enough for this video this is day 28 of
00:01:20	a 30-day challenge I've given myself to post a video to YouTube Every Day in the month of September and as always if you have feedback from me about how I can build a better coin sorder or make better videos please leave a comment
00:01:27	down below also but for now that's my two cents thanks for watching everyone stay awesome
