Mission:
Grandma is too old to get up and down the stairs on her own. Your task is to design an elevator that Grandma can sit on to ride up and down the stairs. Grandma needs to have a switch that is mounted on her chair to start the ride up or down when she is settled in and ready.
Bonus: Use LineFollower sensors to determine when the chair is at the top and bottom of the stairs.
Duties:
Design an elevator that will automatically travel from the first or second floor by converting rotary motion into linear motion. The angle of the stairs is 30°.
Wire the limit switches, Grandma’s start/stop switch, and the elevator motor.
Write a program that will run the elevator up and down the stairs. Open the PLTW Template and Save As GrandmasChair to your directory. Complete each section: Heading, Task Description, Pseudocode, Motor and Sensors Setup, Program.
