Day 1
Productive things: shop training completed. Not so productive things: trying to get maple to work
Day 2
Got maple to run a program. *round of high fives* The problem was that we couldn't change the serial port, because maple was not being recognized by the tablet. Useful link here if you're having trouble: http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=73#post-788. Completed most of the wiring for the kitbot. Later in the evening the whole team attended the solidworks workshop.
Day 3
Completed wiring for kitbot and got started on some solidworks sketches. Sent in models for motor hub and some sensor. However, later in the day maple stopped responding to the tablet. Ubuntu was installed. Still no response. Nchinda stayed up very late.
Day 4
Started using assembly to put together kitbot on solidworks. Then a tentative robot base was created out of MDF using the laser cutter.
I came here, thinking I would find home again, but I feel restless. The island... it calls to me.... thanks aritro.
Huzzah maple is fixed, and we were able to make the motors move. Shitty wiring might have been part of the problem.
