Weekly Report 6 (6/16/05)

This week I assembled the platform and attached the processor board, motors, bump sensors, LCD, and IR sensor. Upon receiving the H-Bridge, wheel hubs, and batteries they were added to the platform as well. Once the robot was fully assembled I wrote software for obstacle avoidance. This software included A to D conversions, PWM’s, motor controls, and a calibration routine for the IR sensor. All was completed and shown to Will on Thursday.
