Today, we assembled our iTouch motor. This consisted of winding wires and then fixing the windings into a structure. After these steps were completed, the magnets were placed on each side of the structure, such that when we send current through the windings later on, we will create a force that moves the windings about the pivot.
We are having issues the clamping force of the magnets on the structure (it is causing the nylon bolts hit the wood, even after quite a bit of sanding). We are going to add spacers so that this is no longer an issue.
Here is the circuit we have created for this lab's purposes:
