Work Completed

  • Bryn and Malia installed new encoder mounts on DT2
  • Adam and David worked on ultrasonic testing
    • Tested "green" MaxBotix sensor, but minimum range was 12 inches on that model, too far.
    • Tested other "EZ" model and min range was 6-7 inches, which seems viable.  Need to order a few more.
  • [day before] New RoboRIO is fully imaged, back in box.

Challenges

Nothing significant this time.

Work for Next Meeting

  1. Wire DT2!!!
    • Keep in mind that we need someplace for...
      • The breaker (in a easy to reach spot near battery)
      • The new ethernet switch
      • Two PCMs
      • Solenoid blocks, etc.
      • RIO must be in the middle
  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. Install More Boards on comp & practice bot RoboRIOs. Manual for More Board:
    http://www.revrobotics.com/content/docs/REV-11-1100-UM.pdf
  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 the schematic for the electrical system using the schematic software stuff --> talk to Malia & Caden about this if you are interested (or maybe eddy)
  6. Get drivetrain code to work on the debugger (may just need to add the physics and sim files to the code???)
  7. 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)
  8. Ultrasonic Sensors --> test them, learn how to use them, where should they be mounted, etc.
  9. Light Sensors --> wire them, test them, learn how to use them, connect them to the mega arduino, code them, etc.

On Schedule?
