7/18 update
This week I began by working on my CMU cam. I was getting the S and T packets to display on my LCD and monitoring the difference values between Green, Yellow, and Red. I also worked on developing a program that could extract the data returned, which will later be used when doing the TC (track color) command and checking the confidence level of each color.I received one of the two motor driver boards, so I put that together. I also put together some basic obstacle avoidance, which I will test in lab on Tuesday once I am able to connect the wires to the board. I wrote a majority of my line following code which includes some obstacle avoidance, but I don’t yet have the hardware for the line following, which I will hopefully put together in lab on Tuesday if the parts are there.
Friday through Sunday I put together a majority of my platform, which I received from the T-tech on Wednesday. I still need to mount the second motor driver and line tracking, but I have neither right now. I also need to figure out how to power everything using the batteries, but that shouldn’t take long.
