Notes

  • Vision stuff
    • Updated GRIP on RPi to 1.1.1
    • Camera on Jetson works using streamer utility. GRIP throws errors, but might be due to lack of NetworkTables server running on roborio for it to connect to
    • GRIP runs on RPi far enough to load .grip file
    • Established the RPi doesn't need externally-powered USB hub with our camera.  Jetson does, weak.
    • Tested camera using ffmpeg utility on RPi, no problems
    • GRIP on RPi is currently failing to initialize the camera.  Posted on this thread, hoping for some advice.
  • Jay did some work on UberScouting.  Talked to Adam about his proposed database schema
  • Nolan organized the bench a bit, and talked to other subteams about sensors & parts needed for BOM

Work Completed

  • Camera and GRIP both almost work on Raspberry Pi
  • Updated GRIP version on RPi

Challenges

GRIP is new and not well road-tested, esp. on non-Windows platform.  Still, its features are compelling.

Work for Next Meeting

  • Continue on GRIP + RPi efforts.  Probably try Axis IP camera, since it sounds like another team got that to work on RPi.
  • [when tape arrives] Put retroreflective tape on the new tower
  • Talk to mecanical about having a encoder on their shooter [done?]
  • 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 wiring of 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.

On Schedule?

The GRIP on co-processor project feels like it could put us behind schedule.  If this goes too much longer we'll consider shifting to a plan B.
