Work Completed
- Adam showed Erika and Sam P. how to configure & use data from Limelight
- Billy showed Malia some wiring stuff with the drivetrain encoders on Octa
- Tried to work out what's wrong with the left drivetrain encoder in Octa's code. Didn't find a solution yet.
- Imaged Saba's roborio for 2020. Vasista installed robotpy 2020 stuff on it
Challenges
- left DT encoder isn't posting values
Work for Next Meeting
- Figure out what's wrong with Octa's left DT encoder
- Continue testing vision stuff with Frisbee (until Octa is available again)
- Add drivetrain "turn to angle" command to Frisbee code, for testing.
- Create DT command to align the robot with the port target, using the limelight's "tx" value from NetworkTables
- See if we can get the limelight to tell us distance-to-target for setting shooter range/speed
- Until we have a working turret shooter to play with, we can continue working towards making the robot rotate to align to a target using shortest path, but also handle cable bundling we'll have on the turret. Meaning the turret won't be able to spin > 360 degrees, it will need to rotate the other (long) way sometimes to keep slack on the cables. We haven't written PID code like that before, so something to explore.
- Get drivetrain sensors working again on Octa, start working towards autonomous stuff
- Create a drive command that moves robot straight X feet. Drive correction can use either gyro or DT sensors, we've done both in the past codebases.
