00:00:00 | so in this video the idea is to attach the next layer of the coin bot it's the last piece that I've built so far we're calling that the coin Grabber and in this layer we take a coin from the bottom of a stack of pennies we rotate |
00:00:14 | it into position above the coin Studio take pictures of it so that the AI can identify it once the AI identifies the penny then we can move it again over top of the coin sorter and then it will be sorted into those coin Stacks that we |
00:00:31 | showed you around the outside of the coin box because I had the steppers for the Sorter and the Grabber mislabeled in the software I wanted to actually swap those around so here you can see me disconnecting the coin sorder stepper |
00:00:46 | and I'm swapping it out with the other stepper so that the naming convention that I used in the software works out properly and of course if I swap out the stepper Motors I also have to swap out the limit switches once we got that |
00:00:57 | figured out then we have to find the other GT2 timing belt for the coin Grabber then we connect those timing belts to the coin Soder again and on top to the coin Grabber and really once we have this all together the only thing |
00:01:12 | left to do is to test it now for that step I'm actually using the software that I've been using over the last few days I actually wrote it so that it could test both stepper Motors and here I'm going to run |
00:01:25 | it and you can see that it all kind of fell apart once that grabber stepper motor started turning but that's okay I'm not too concerned about that once I build the top layer of the coin bot that's actually going to hold the coin |
00:01:38 | Grabber in place so that's going to work nicely I think and when I use my finger to hold it down it actually turns still nicely but I still have a few bugs to work out in the software in order to get everything coordinated properly and I |
00:01:51 | also think when I swapped out that limit switch for the coin sorder it's now not being triggered and when it tries to home it just keeps turning and turning but going to have to sort those problems out over the coming days and weeks and I |
00:02:03 | think that's enough for this video this is day 29 of 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 for me about how to build a better coin Grabber |
00:02:17 | or make better videos please leave a comment down below and I'll try to incorporate that feedback into the coin bot and into my future videos but for now that's my two cents thanks for watching everyone and stay awesome |
