Test the Mastering Project

  1. Ensure the Mastering Jig is installed and download and run the project.

     

    Download and Run

  2. Each joint must be within the passing threshold. If any joint fails, the VEX V5 Workcell build and port configuration needs to be reviewed.

    1. The passing thresholds are the following:

      1. Joint 1: 1800 - 2200

      2. Joint 2: 1900 - 2400

      3. Joint 3: 1400 - 1800

      4. Joint 4: 200 - 650

    2. If any joint fails, first check if the potentiometers need to be adjusted. Refer back to the Lab 1: Build Instructions to ensure that the potentiometers were added and oriented correctly.

    3. Ensure all devices are fully inserted into the correct V5 Smart Ports on the V5 Brain.

      Note: your mastering values may be different than the values shown here. Mastering values vary slightly for each V5 Workcell. 

  3. If all joints pass, the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell is ready to move.

  4. Once all joints pass, document the four joint values in your Engineering Notebook. These values will be used in all subsequent projects.

  5. Remove the Mastering Jig from the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell.
