Work Completed

  • Replaced right encoder, the old one was not working --> it now works :)
  • Adam began puting new firmware on the new RIO, needs to be finished (he will do so tomorrow I believe)
  • Vavista & Thomas & Sam created a motor testing board
    • Uses a battery connected to a breaker, PDP, and VRM
    • Motor controller's PWM connects to the signal controller thing that Adam bought
    • All on a board and ready to go for future prototyping and motor testing
  • List of all port IDs on RoboRIO on DT1 and plans for the rest of the ports once we assemble everything... 
    • see here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r7eFnPEWmtyd69h1XpmWMjdZHuqyZb8pkThEbSN_h24/edit

Challenges

  • Need electrical board to be routed to begin mounting comp bot electronics to it...
  • Lots of code to be written, only me to write it as of now

Work for Next Meeting

 

  1. Need to figure out how to determine how far the the back wheels of the climber need to drive before the robot is on the platform enough to raise them... 
    • Is there some place to mount a limit switch that could hit the platform or something?
    • Ultrasonic sensor was suggested
  2. ROBOT CODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Get drive correction working
    • Climber needs commands to be ready for testing on Saturday
    • So does hatch
    • And of course cargo does too
  3. Put new firmware on the new RoboRIO & image it (in "new components" box on shelves)
  4. Make list of all the general & subteam specific electrical components on the robot (FRC4096 --> 2018 - 2019 --> Build Season --> Electrical folder --> Electrical components)
  5. Continue wiring the DT1 once it is done being assembled by mechanical (should be sometime this coming week)
    • Keep in mind that we need someplace for...
      • The breaker
      • The new ethernet switch
      • Two PCMs
      • Solenoid blocks, etc.
  6. Continue the schematic for the electrical system using the schematic software stuff --> talk to Malia & Caden about this if you are interested (or maybe eddy)
  7. Get drivetrain code to work on the debugger (may just need to add the physics and sim files to the code???)
  8. Vision
    • Now that the gyro is working again, this should be worked on some more...
    • Drive robot towards vision target so the target is in view of limelight; then have robot drive to a specified distance and turn to a specified angle from the vision target (using a calibrated position and the tx & ty from the limelight)
    • Get Rotate_To_Angle_Limelight command working on Poly again.  PID will need tuning.
    • Continue learning how to use limelight
      • Specifically learn what all of the different values on the network table are and how they can be used
      • Continue to look into the Limelight documentations
    • Go to specified range from target (check case studies on limelight website & documentation)
    • Go to specified range and aim at target (again check case studies)

On Schedule?
