Work Completed

  1. Commented out all the recent sensor code for the demo tomorrow
    1. Ultrasonic, Contact switch (these two are unplugged as well. They are now on the table.)
    2. Camera, Gyro, Accelerometer
  2. Enabled "RT startup app" so that there is no deploying to the RoboRio. (Check email for how to change this back)
  3. Installed ArchLinux to the Raspberry Pi2.
    1. The Raspberry Pi is connected to one of the monitors near where it was yesterday. (HDMI to VGA adapter is Alexandre's but is being left here)
  4. Worked with Jack on checking out Short-E robot so that is ready for the Demo
    1. Disabled Drivtrain LEDs (Unplugged from the right side of the Spike )
    2. Jacked plugged in the wire for the compressor which had come out.

Challenges

Left (When looking straight at the robot from front) Clamp gets snagged when going down

Did not have time to prep the Fris-B. Aparently it has a broken wheel, but we don't need to move it.

 

Work for Next Meeting

  • TO CHANGE ANY CODE AND DEPLOY TO ROBORIO CHANGE THE SETTINGS. LOOK ABOVE IN "WORK COMPLETED".
  • Talk to mecanical about having a encoder on their shooter
  • Help with making field elements
  • Upgrade Short-E to lastest robotpy
  • Upgrade DS to latest pyfrc
  • Upgrade to latest GRIP that was just released
  • Get Aisha added to Electrical FB group, if she wants
  • Finish spinning up both new DS laptops [Adam]
  • Keep trying to get GRIP ARM build to work on Jetson [Adam]
  • Work on RGB LEDs
  • Add the sensors back and uncomment the code if the Demos are over.
    • BTW in the case of the ultrasonic and contact switch they are both in ports 3. (ultra in Analog IN, switch in DIO)
    • Do around 10 tests with the ultrasonic to get a large number of datapoints from different distances.
  • Install correct version of Java then GRIP and its dependancies to the Raspberry Pi 2.
