For this Lab, we were challenged to create an elevator that can serve three floors. It should be able to pick people up and then drop them off to in the bottom of the building. My elevator was really ambitious, being the tallest, and the sturdiest elevator, and plus - it looked cool. The elevator carriage is moved by a motor, which drives a pair of sprockets, which moves a chain attached to the elevator carriage, moving it up and down. there are limit switches on the top and bottom of the elevator, which gives it an ability to stop accurately. The quadrature encoder is responsible for making sure that the elevator can accurately reach the second floor. Each floor has a button and a status LED. The status led shows which level the elevator is at and will flash quickly if there is an emergency. when the emergency button is pressed, the elevator returns to the first floor (if it is somewhere else), then it disables all of the buttons, then makes the LEDs flash rapidly, signaling that you might want to use the stairs.
