Weekly Report 5 (
My programmer finally arrived but
just my luck it came with a 6 pin connecter while my board requires a 10 pin
connecter. Since the signals between the
6 and 10 pin connecters are the same (the 10 pin connecter has 5 ground
signals) I have made a ghetto adapter that works sometimes but like 1 in 3
times I try to program I get an error.
All of my parts have arrived except for my voice recognition stuff
because I am still looking into what I want to do with that. I have built the base of my platform,
installing the two drive wheels, casters, drive motors, and the actuator power
supply. I have written a few programs to
test some of the parts that I have received—everything seems to be working
fine. I have drawn some of the parts
that I need made in the TTech machine in autocad and I will bring the file to lab today to get the
parts cut out. Everything seems to be on
schedule.
