Work Completed
Added to the BOM: Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone Black. added them to the BOM as alternatives to the jetson.
Downloaded and experimented with GRIP, a cross-platform imaging processing app written in Java, built on OpenCV.
Challenges
Need to learn a lot about image processing.
Waiting on Jetson. Adam will order it today/Wed.
Work for Next Meeting
Start preliminary experimentation on image processing with released images of the field.
Get camera stuff worked out and do more on gyro/accelerometer and research more on other sensor options.
Grip seems really nice so far. Easy to use, fills the gap left by RoboRealm, and will run on linux. You develop a "algorithm" using the app, then run that alg with GRIP in headless mode for your robot.
Current vision plan: Run a camera attached to the Jetson, which is connected to the RoboRio (probably via serial). GRIP runs on the Jetson, and posts its data to NetworkTables. Python code on RoboRio reads those values (when needed) and acts appropriately.
Until we get Jetson to play with, we can get other sensors working on RoboRio/Python.
On Schedule?
Falling slightly behind because of lack of attendance *cough* *cough* Thomas *cough* *cough*...
