Notes
"Microwaves work on the floor" -Mikhail Single Lov
Work Completed
Did research on new GRIP version (1.5.1)
GRIP now wants users to use it as a source code generator.
Should be more efficent and reliable on the raspberry pi.
Better support from GRIP
Can generate python code
Worked on installing required python and libraries for pi
Python 3.4 is correct
use apt-get to install opencv and numpy
pip to install pynetworktables
Challenges
broke python install on py somehow
installed wrong version of python
internet speeds
attendance
Work for Next Meeting
Plug nona camera into DS laptop, turn LED light on and calibrate GRIP for the new tape targets on hook.
Get exposure control on driverstations
Finish configuring RPi
goal: run these test files https://github.com/WPIRoboticsProjects/GRIP-code-generation
then real files we generate
Get RPi installed on nona
Get auto-aim code from last year integrated into 2017 robot code
Write the code for nonadrive (<- what does this mean? -Adam)
Start figuring out how we might manuver the robot during auto
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 checklis
t
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)
