| Abstract: | This report details the control of the Sunram 7 using a system designed for quick setup, accuracy within 2 mm, and ease of use for novices. The final setup includes a 3D SpaceMouse connected to a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller, facilitating communication with the Sunram 7’s controller board, adjustable control velocity, and software-imposed physical constraints. Tests assessed assembly time, start-up duration, control accuracy, and usability. The system was fully assembled in an average of 65 seconds, with a mean start-up time of 2.1 seconds. Accuracy tests showed a mean error of 0.43 mm at the lowest velocity setting and an overall average error of 0.75 mm. Usability was evaluated via a survey, yielding an average System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 78.8, indicating good to excellent usability. For optimal accuracy, a control velocity setting of 3 (6.3 mm/s) was preferred. However, setting 9 (19 mm/s) offered a satisfactory balance between accuracy and speed. The findings suggest that the Sunram 7 can be effectively controlled in an intuitive manner using the 3D SpaceMouse, making it accessible and efficient for users with varying levels of experience. |
