Work Completed

  • Coded ports for victors & spikes for shooter wheel, shooter elevation, indexer, feeder.
  • Worked through bugs in lots of new code
  • Made Raspberry Pi power connectors for robot.  Adam had to repeatedly foil Thomas's attempts to fry our Pi.
  • Played with motor speeds set in code.

Challenges

  • Code malfunctions
  • Currently shooter wheel and indexer are both part of the shooter subsystem.  Their commands should be interruptable but they interrupted each other.  Need to make indexer its own subsystem.

Work for Next Meeting

  • Continue robot code, test shooter/elevation.  Indexer needs to have its own subsystem.
  • Finish wiring competition bot
  • Get camera feed visible on driver station.  Can probably use new GRIP plugin for SmartDashboard
  • 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.
  • Need to SSH in and shutdown Pi 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
  • Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
  • Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
