Work Completed
- Finished Pi setup guide
- put shell scripts on drive with documentation
- re planned position of electrical components
- all on one plate since we need the other for pneumatics
- router will go on back face of robot
- there is space but mounting needs to be worked on
- pdb and battery and breaker stay as it was
Challenges
- communitcation with mechanical on how much space we had
- we thought we would get 2 plates but only have one
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.
- Outline new robot code, using WPI commands style
- Ask mechanical about the indexer
- Work on shooter code
- Alexandre: better comment the code you wrote
- 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.
- mjpeg-streamer & GRIP can now start when Pi boots, still need to SSH in and shutdown nicely when disabled or match over.
- Find good settings for mjpg-streamer (Look into the fork)
- keep optimizing (It seems that brightness and contrast being near zero works extreemly well
- Get second RPi spun up and tested with GRIP, mjpeg-streamer, etc. for practice bot
- Catch Beta up to Alpha Pi 2.
- Check on spike supply and maybe order more
- Look for velcro to buy thomas want various strengths/sizes
- I think we bought cheaper kind so we just have ot wait.
- Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
- Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
