Weekly Report 10 (7/19/05)

 

 

           For this past week or so I have attached my CMU camera to my robot with a home made hinge.  I tried to buy one but I could not find one that I felt comfortable with.  So I made the hinge out of Lucite.  I got the idea of doing a hinge for the camera from Wai.  That way I can adjust my camera to the traffic light height later.  This was a great idea, which I never thought about.  So now the camera can be angled on the robot.  Other than the CMU cam stuff, I have soldered all my components to my power board and I attached all my sensors to it and everything works.  Except that is for m y sonar which all of a sudden as stopped working, go figure.  Anyway I have ordered another srfo4 sonar sensor hopefully it will come before this week is over.  I did check my code with a friend’s sonar however and I know that works, so all I have to do is solder a pin header on my new sonar and plug it in.
