Work Completed
- Found a way to monitor the CPU usage on the Pi.
- Isaac is working on python script to export cpu usages to network tables
- Started outlining some code for the new robot but it is possible that Adam was already doing that in eugene_x.
- what I tried to do is commented out at the end of teleop.py in short_e code
- Made some swag cheat codes for the pacman game
- Changed the Grip file named test_ip2.grip on the computer but not on the pi
- Fixed idiocy from yesterday
- "I dont want to explain" -Isaac
Challenges
- Unistalled pacman rip my friend
- other subteams were distracting
- all they did was kick balls and play cards
- we were slightly drawn to their lack of work
- When we ran grip and printed values from the pi and the camera there is a very significant delay.
- Up to 7 seconds between when we remove the retroreflective tape and when the values for width disappear
- Isaac believes that it is simply the grip file so make sure to change it with the new version on the desktop
- This might be a bandwidth issue and we should do testing on whether it is the pi-->roborio or roborio-->computer
Work for Next Meeting
- OPEN GITHUB AND SYNC, even if you're not sure you'll be modifying robot code. When meeting is over, COMMIT then SYNC AGAIN. Just do this every meeting.
- Find best way to see/modify camera settings. Play with brightness/exposure/etc. to get the best isolation of targets in imagebefore GRIP gets ahold of the stream. Then adjust GRIP file to make the best use of that.
- On some websites, they connect the video to the HSV filter twice so that there are two intervals for each. Might want to check this out.
- Get GRIP file to deploy like robot code, from DS->Pi, likely via PSCP & upgrades to our fancyier Wing script
- Get mjpeg-streamer & GRIP to run when robot code starts, die when disabled or match over
- Find good settings for mjpg-streamer
- Outline new robot code, using WPI commands style
- Get second RPi spun up and tested with GRIP, mjpeg-streamer, etc. for practice bot
- Check on spike supply and maybe order more
- Look for velcro to buy thomas want various strengths/sizes
- Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
- Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
