Lab 0: Transition to 216 ( Evan Heyliger, Sheldon Ho, Federico Lizarraga, Luis Valera) Abstract: This is the last lab of ENGR 102 and the first lab of ENGR 216 Introduction: In this lab, me and my group were assigned the task to download the included software needed for Engineering 216, which was MobaXterm, and learn how to set up and use the Visualization machines that I will be using in Engineering 216. This lab will give an idea of the procedures that will be taken in the labs in Engineering 216 along with a chance to get to use the machine for ourselves Procedure: The setup was straightforward and took me and my group less than five minutes to set up and get the software running.To prep for the labs I and other users will be performing, we first have to turn the machine and connect an ethernet cable from our laptop to the machine. Next we connect the software used for the experiment via Secure Shell (port 22/SSH) through the MobaXterm. After we remoted into the machine, we ran a python file, which was provided to us, so we can begin using the machine. To make the machine do the given task, we inserted a python file into the console and ran the python file giving the commands to the machine. In this case, the machine was given a task to record the position of an object, on a given x and y axis plane, and plot the positions of the given object into a CSV file. Once we were finished, we pressed ctrl + c to kill the task and for the machine to finish creating the CSV file in which it saved the video recording and the CSV into the machine’s computer. From there, we moved the video and the CSV file into the laptop that was used in this lab. To finish the lab, we disconnected our ethernet cable from the laptop and the machine and turned off the machine. Results and Analysis: The Visualization machine tracks the coordinates of an object along an x and y axis, with a camera, and tracks the movement of the object, and the machine creates a CSV file showing the coordinates the object moved to. We found out that the x and y axis were oriented facing towards the user of the machine. However, the camera on our machine ,so the video shows that the y coordinate increases from top to bottom shown in this image below. The example coordinates are plotted in an image of the spreadsheet shown below. Conclusion: This lab was completed within a span of five to ten minutes and was accomplished with little to no difficulties. This machine and the software on my laptop will be a useful tool to solve problems when it comes to engineering mechanics. I am looking forward to what Engineering 216 offers us in terms of future accomplishments.

A diagram was drawn in this picture to show where the x and y axis were increasing/decreasing The first and second column show the frame number and time stamp while the fourth and fifth column shows the x and y coordinates the object traveled to at that given time.
