Weekly Report 2 (5/19/05)

 

Since last week I have ordered my MAVRIK II B Board, the programming cable, and an LCD screen that came with a contrast button.  I just received all these parts yesterday, Wednesday May 19th.  Due to not receiving these parts until Wednesday I was doing research on the internet on all the other components that I might be using for my robot, such as the IR and sonar sensors, and the CMU cam.  I also downloaded all the data sheets and manuals I could find for the board along with a C compiler that I found for free on the ATMEL website named Pacific C.  I was not sure if that was the compiler that I needed to get or the one that was discussed in class on the first day, but it was the only free compiler that I found.  If there is another I should be using please inform me.    

 

Also after the last lecture, I have downloaded the Eagle program with the manual.
