Electronic Testing and Integration

Once the mechanical design was complete, the team looked into various sensors and other electronic components that would give the desired results. Every component that was bought was first tested individually to ensure that it worked as expected. Eventually, when all the components had been finalized, purchased and tested, a circuit schematic was then designed. That schematic can be above and includes, one Arduino Uno, two potentiometers, three push buttons, 3 LEDs, 2 DC motors and a motors driver. The individual sections of code used for testing were then integrated in order to create a program that follows the flow diagram seen below. Once the code was complete the entire system was then put through systematic testing to ensure everything worked as desired. The team then proceeded with monkey testing to ensure the system was free of bugs. Lastly, the system was then integrated with the mechanical assembly and tested once more to ensure that everything still work...

Delivered Project

The team delivered the project on May 9th 2018 at the Spartan Superway location to be used in a video shooting for Discovery channel. This was done to expose what the purpose of the Spartan Superway is and to emphasize the multiple sub-projects currently bring developed.

Introduction Blog

We are a team from the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program at San Jose State University. The purpose of EPICS is to expose students to a multidisciplinary class environment while teaching the students about projects that benefit the community. Our team was originally assigned to develop a mobile app for the Spartan Superway, but was changed to another project due to the team's technical background. The Spartan Superway is a solar-powered automated transit network (ATN) concept that is currently in development. The project assigned to our group was to develop a wheelchair restraint system for their pods. Our project is a new idea that has not been done in previous years. The Spartan Superway Wheelchair Restraint system is a fully automated system that helps the wheelchair users by providing them with a comfortable, safer and faster system that activates with the touch of a button. This automated system can lead to an improved and satisfactory...
