THIRD WEEK

Last week we started a new challenge and after we made the presentations we changed the site to another table. Another new challenge with new knowledge we will adqcuire. In this challenge we will try to not to make the same mistakes we made on the last challenge. We didn't distribute the time properly, because we wasted time doing some things when we needed after.

On the new challenge we have to use the OMROM program to comunicate  with the variator and the screen. On the screen we have to simulate the labelled and heat seal of a bottle in a tape with sensors using a variator and a servomotor. We don't know if we will use the servomotor because the last team didn't use it and the teachers have to test it.

On the first days we started checking the mounting and looking the parts of the mounting and trying to understand the challenge and what was each part's operation.

Then we continued using the variator and understanding his function. We also made the 10 exercises that were proposed. The first five were easy but the sixth was more hard to solve. We spent two days solving the exercise but we finally did it. We wrote the exercises in Drive.

We also started using the OMROM Sysmac Studio program. It's different to other programs we used before. This program is more difficult than the others because we don't have many recources to how to use the program. The information appeares in Moodle, it's a little bit confusing because it doesn't explain it clearly. We are making the screen part, we are following a PDF uplouded in Moodle and its been confusing as we said before.

Now we are translating from written text to estructured text. At first it seems imposible to understand but with the help of the teachers, we are advancing and learning.
We also started with the programming of the mounting and we are taking big steps.

We have to continue working  on these things over the week and try to finish all of them as early as posible. We started doing a Gantt chart to check day by day how are dealing with things we have to do. If the exercise is active we fill a block of color behind the day, and he have to do it everyday.
This is an easier way to organize ourselves and work with a better order.
