& Billy


Work Completed

  • Mounted the 4 cargo limit switches
  • Attached connectors to the pancake pistons on the climber
  • Mounted 5 Double Solenoid Block on the bottom of the robot (underneath the electrical plate)
  • Drilled holes in between the two PCMs on the electrical plate for the cables from the solenoids to go through
  • Connected cables from Solenoid to PCMs
  • Cut rectangle holes in the electrical plate for the drivetrain motor wires to come through to connect to their motor controllers
  • David & Shashank (at different times) worked on OI... I made some more changes this morning too
  • GitHub commits: Began oi controller buttons & Added commands to oi.py & Some more OI stuff
  • Billy worked on light sensor stuff
    • From Slack: "Just got light sensors to accept a premade array of configured values so we don't have to configure manually before each match! Will upload to github in a few, and we will need to update the arduino libraries of laptops used to deploy arduino code"
    • GitHub commit: Manually adding calibrated values to light sensor works

Challenges

  • Still waiting on robot to continue wiring everything

Work for Next Meeting

  1. Wire DT1 & DT2 as the rest of the robot gets assembled

    • We still need to add the radio, ethernet switch, arduino, limelight, ultrasonic sensors, talon SRXs, victor SPXs, encoders, potentiometers, light sensors, and some more that I'm probably forgetting :))))

    • Entire pneumatic system as well

  2. Order some more of the small L-shaped connectors that screw into pancake pistons

  3. ROBOT CODE!!!!!
    • Get drive correction working
    • Line followers integrated with Hatch PID
    • 1 step process for climber
    • Add code for ultrasonic sensors
    • Cargo set points
    • Vision
    • etc. etc.
  4. Line Followers & Arduino -> someone (who is not Bryn and is going to both competitions) needs to understand this and know how to debug it...
  5. Install More Boards on comp & practice bot RoboRIOs. Manual for More Board:
    http://www.revrobotics.com/content/docs/REV-11-1100-UM.pdf
  6. Make list of all the general & subteam specific electrical components on the robot (FRC4096 --> 2018 - 2019 --> Build Season --> Electrical folder --> Electrical components)
  7. 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)
  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?

I guess so...
