PDR Feedback - solutions
An enclosure system was not needed. C-Mount adapters provided a completely enclosed optical path.
Refined application of camera system: Agriculture imaging.
Utilized internet research in all aspects of multispectral camera design.
Utilized lab space for system integration.4

Filter Wheel
We did testing on the filters provided to us. Through the use of a spectrometer, dark room, and a white light source, we were able to identify the different wavelength spectrums of these filters.
The graphs produced by the spectroscopic software shows the wavelength ranges of the filters.

Building the System – Stepper Motor
Our stepper motor consists of a 2 stationary coils and these are turned on and pull a rotary magnet towards the coil. This action turns a shaft.
14
But you must turn the coils on and off at the right moment to create rotary movement. This requires an external circuit consisting of pulses and these pulses must contain voltage and current to deliver energy to the stepper motor.

Basic Test for Stepper Motor
16
This was a basic test to check that the Stepper motor work. By turning the motor manually we provided feedback voltage which lit the LEDs.
Similarly we used a Back EMF test in which you short two leads together and if the motor was difficult to move the connections were from the same phase.

Issues with Filter/Stepper Motor
17
The main issue with the Filter wheel was the stepper motor.
We tried using different ways to excite the stepper motor to get it to turn however, we were unsuccessful.
We have prove through different methods the pin out and that the stepper motor is functional.
18

Additional Testing
As an alternate we tried using a Arduino for testing purposes. Having found possible set ups for a 4 wire stepper motor we tried basic code that would excite one pin at a time while setting the other to low to test our stepper motor.
This however also proved inconclusive.

Using Various Arduino Code to Test
19
As an alternate we also tried using an L298 as recommended by some sources we found. This device would act as H-Bridge (a circuit that enables a voltage to be a applied across a load in either direction). Similarly without result.
Another group also recommended using a ULN2803A Darlington Array (which takes current amplified by the first transistor is amplified further by the second one) with a basic Arduino code. Similarly with out results.

Control of the Stepper motor using RPi
Coding on RPi
− python
Use of a stepper driver
− EasyDriver stepper from SparkFun
− to prevent damage to filter wheel due to high current supplied from the RPi.
− Allow an easier control of stepping

Issues with Microcontroller
RPi
− Arrival of stepper driver caused delay
− Misconnection of RPi
Switched to Arduino board
− Stepper motor didn’t turn
− Couldn’t pinpoint source of error

Building the System – Issues found
Requested parts had been delayed in the ordering process. (Set us back in time).
Optical path needed more components to correct an issue. (Set us back in time and money).
Connections – can’t connect to monitors in SDP lab
Filter wheel and stepper motor driver issue.

Conclusion
We spent a lot of time researching and gathering info this semester and we also encountered difficulties and delays that prevented us from meeting our MDR goals. But we have learned from our experience/mistakes and will be better prepared next semester and meet our set goals.
