Notes

"I wish the shooter subteam..." -Nolan Pletcher

Work Completed

  • Updated roborio library to fix solenoid issues
  • Tested code for actuating tanks/omnis (it works)
  • Wrote the code to shift gears in nonadrive
  • Added code to change sensitivity of the strafe wheel
    • When pressing a trigger, the strafe wheel goes slower to allow for more precise manuvering
  • Began work on gyro

Challenges

  • Did not realize that the solenoid needed 24 volts
  • Strafe wheel was not at the correct height
  • New gyro is new to us and still a little confusing
    • The new gyro is connected to the roborio's SPI port which we did not use last year

Work for Next Meeting

  • Write the code for nonadrive
    • Start figuring out how we might manuver the robot during auto.
    • Get out the cameras to begin allignment/distance testing
  • fix da pi
  • Put sensors (gyro/accelerometer?) on nonadrive
    • find code for the gyro and learn how to use it

 

List from Mike (preventative measures):

  • Batteries
    • Battery Beak, logging and tracking internal resistance
      • Make a google spreadsheet to track battery data
      • Use computer to collect data/make a graph about voltage over time
    • Put meaningful labels on the batteries
    • Build load testing board
      • Resistors!
  • Power Distribution Panel
    • Can read voltage/current on every port
      • Could be used for diagnostics
  • Make a checklist
    • Learn how to read LED indicators on all components
    • Guidlines for checking wire integrity
    • Unit tests in robot code​
      • Check to see if sensors are working?
      • Motors running correctly
      • Battery has enough voltage
      • Check the pneumatic pressure as well as solenoids
    • Useful for prematch/prebagging​
    • Voltimeter between the various locations
  • Sensors
    • Range finders - analog IO -> RIO (code)
    • Touch sensor - digital IO -> RIO (code)
  • Checkout Code // Comptetion Code

On Schedule?

Nonadrive works... so maybe
