Flipped left drive motor ports in code to match wiring. Might want to reverse wiring to match comp bot?
Finished getting Beta Pi up to date with Alpha. One library was missing.
Got streamer + GRIP running automatically at Pi startup. All works well.
Fussed with .grip file a bit
Wired LED ring
Mounted, wired and tested gyro. Drive correction is re-enabled now
Discussed camera strategy with captains. Plan is to mount a second camera facing forward to help align with defenses. This will either be a second video feed on the DS, bandwidth/latency permitting, or replace the shooter camera's feed
Challenges
none to speak of.
Work for Next Meeting
Finish rewiring & testing practice bot. Get sensors mounted & wired. Everything we can do while waiting on feeder & shooter
Find best way to see/modify camera settings via command line on linux. 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.
Work with mechanical to find position for new forward-facing camera
Drive correction needs changes to handle crossing the 0-to-360 border without making the robot spaz out
Start autonomous code
Work on vision processing
Faster this is done the more testing we can do with the shooting
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
Check on spike supply and maybe order more
Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
On Schedule?
Nope. Should have a fully functional practice bot at this point, not waiting on bearings to arrive. :(
