   *Started to sketch the assembly when all the parts got in the lab.I had some trouble in what to use for the pendulum ( the pendulum from the original project was not on the lab). Once i got the pendulum ( 1/2in steel bar ) i had to figure out a way to fix the bar into the rotational encoder ( i'm waiting a friend print a support on a 3d printer for me ).    *Started to sketch the assembly when all the parts got in the lab.I had some trouble in what to use for the pendulum ( the pendulum from the original project was not on the lab).

 **Voltage output at the proportional valve:** I'm having trouble on the voltage output.Even if i change the digital value on the arduino code , the voltage at the proportional valve still at 8,4 V (it is expected the voltage to change from 0 to 10V when changing the digital input value at the arduino code). I rebuilt the circuit changing the operational AMP , DAC and all the resistances, but i still having trouble in controlling the voltage output to the proportional valve. I'm using the same Arduino code from the original project , and the DAC is the same also (so the problem is not the DAC connection with the arduino). The problem can be the decimal to binary function on the code , that i'm trying to re-write. **Voltage output at the proportional valve:** I'm having trouble on the voltage output.Even if i change the digital value on the arduino code , the voltage at the proportional valve still at 8,4 V (it is expected the voltage to change from 0 to 10V when changing the digital input value at the arduino code).
