Ensuring Smooth Vertical Travel
Vertical Travel
Optii Odometry should smoothly travel vertically without catching. When the wheel is pressed upwards, the only resistance that should be felt is that of the compression springs.
If the odometry pod does not always spring back quickly into place when released, this may cause odometry readings to be inaccurate.
If your team experiences this issue, it can be resolved with the following methods.
Loosening Carriage Bolts
The 2 M4 countersunk bolts shown below may be too tight which can cause inconsistencies with the linear motion of Optii Odometry. Simply use a 2.5 mm allen key to slightly loosen each bolt (approximately one half turn).
Please ensure that the bolt remains in contact with the nyloc of the M4 nut (the blue ring). If not in contact, this bolt can loosen with vibrations.
Positioning Shoulder Bolts
It is important to ensure that the 2 M5 shoulder bolts are seated within the mounting plate correctly. If the bolt is not completely within the counterbore, press it into place. If it is too difficult to press into place, it may be helpful to use a 3 mm allen key to turn the bolt while pressing down.
