Day 0, Jan 5
- Successfully located the third floor of the IDC building and created this wiki page.
- Set up our Edison board and created a playing field in Solidworks.
- Github repo created.
Day 1, Jan 6
- Members received shop training.
- Basic prototypes of ball collection mechanisms.
- Work with OpenCV
Day 2, Jan 7
- Everything is broken
- Board is broken
- Power Supply is broken
- Multimeter to test power supply is broken
- :(
Day 3, Jan 8
- Everything is still broken
- Test some sensors with an arduino.
- Create a makefile that can compile all code together
- Play with opencv
- Cads cads and prototype
Day 4, Jan 9
- Board is still broken
- Ultrasensor,motorcontroller, short IR, ultra short IR tested!
- All the wires are a mess. Lets try to standardize them. Red power, *black* ground, *Blue*/purple signal (Sensor ->Board) in, *white*/gray signal out (BOARD -> sensor)
Day 5, Jan 10
- Board is still broken
- Saturday!! We had pizza at the lab
- We discuss the organization for the code.
- Motor encoders tested and functional!
- Wires are kinda organized
Day 6, Jan 11
- Sunday. No Lab today. People coding alone.
- Skeleton code!
Day 7, Jan 12
- WE GOT THE EDISON BOARD
- Strategy meeting with the staff!
- Code architecture meeting with the staff!
- New ideas about how to lift the blocks: Use only one movement! No need to lift and then spin
- First prototype of the top sorting mechanism!
- Code for the ultrasonic sensor and IR sensors pretty much finished.
- Most of the electronics have very neat wiring now.
- Multithread seems to be a real possibility now!
- We can calculate our distance to a wall using the camera!
Goals for the next couple of days:
- More prototypes
- Finish PID control, and sensors, and change code from arduino to C++
- Bring in cookies sometime
