Erin-PM-1.5 Hours- Completely figured out where the pins go.

I have figured out where the pins For the stepper motor drivers go. I will make a document and put it on the next post.

Erin-PM-30min- Worked on HuntingtonXYZ machine

I painstakingly made about half the schematic for which pins go where on the board.

Erin- PM-1.5hour- Huntington XYZ, Taken Apart

So, yesterday I took off the power supply board on the Huntington XYZ and found 3 CY-40 stepper motor drivers. Mr. Burnham wants us to utilize these when using the motors now.

So, today I did some research on these drivers and found a link. However time had gone up before I could read it through fully.

Erin-PM-40 min- Research of Huntington Prober magnetic sensor.

I looked into the magnetic sensors on the Huntington XYZ machine.
I found this website the told me a bit about it: https://www.littelfuse.com/products/magnetic-sensors-and-reed-switches/reed-sensors/59140.aspx

Next I plan on trying to use the sensors on the pi.

Erin-PM-1Hour- HuntingtonXYZ Trial and Error

I tried extending the original code of the huntington so that it can utilize 2 Stepper Motors instead of just one. However my efforts proved fruitless as I couldn't make the second one work.

Next I will keep trying to make it work and hopefully have it working by next week.

Erin-PM-1.5 Hours- Worked on the HuntingtonXYZ Prober experiments.

I soldered up a stepper motor to have female wire connections and tested it. However, due to it having 5 connections and not 4, it did not work. I've tried every configuration and it just vibrated. So the experiments to test 2 steppers on one pi wont happen today.

Next I will try the experiment with the 2 steppers.
