Work Completed

  • Finished rewiring drivetrain, pi, camera, few other things
  • Shooter and feeder still not mounted, waiting on bearings to come in.  :(  Still need sensors wired, too, including gyro
  • Drove practice bot for a bit.  Tank works fine, mech drive strafe doesn't work, wheels on one side wrong.  Wiring seems okay, Adam said he'd look at code later since time was up.
  • Messed with xbox controller scheme

Challenges

no shooter or feeder on practice bot

Work for Next Meeting

  • Finish rewiring & testing practice bot. Get gyro mounted & wired, other sensors.  Everything we can do while waiting on feeder & shooter
  • Start autonomous code
  • Install DS software uptate
  • Continue robot code, test shooter/elevation.  Also test working camera + LED ring on a real driving robot!
  • Work on vision processing
    • Faster this is done the more testing we can do with the shooting
  • 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
