Weekly Report 2 (5/25/06)

This week we were instructed to order a board by Monday May 22nd.  On Friday May 19 I placed an order for a Mavrik-IB development board mainly because it seems to have anything I might need.  I still don’t know what my robot will do so it is hard to make a more specific choice.  In preparation for the design of my robot I completed reading the 2nd reference text suggested in the syllabus.  I also reviewed a few of my 4744 labs, specifically the LCD lab, in order to refamiliarize my self with what is needed to interface an LCD with a microprocessor.  I am continuing my search for a good idea.  Hopefully it will come to me soon – preferably before Thursday when we are supposed to turn in an informal report about our robots.
