Mar 2 - 8

• Kept having motor issues 
• Decided to use new motors and change design
• Downscaled to 3" x 3" platform
• Decided to use Arduino Uno R4 Minima, SimpleFOC motor controller shield, and 2208 90KV gimbal motor
  • Reference: https://docs.simplefoc.com/bldcmotor
• CAD-ed, 3D printed, and assembled mini 1DoF testbed and secured it to a metal block
• Wanted to test out a magnetic encoder for closed loop motor control (and more reliable velocity/acceleration readings)
• Encoder turned out to be super sensitive and unreliable so we only used IMU data
• Experimented with reaction wheel mass by adding/removing M3 screws to the perimeter
