Meeting Minutes

December 2, 2017:

Note Taker: Stephanie Lin

Overall Goals: NEED TO FINISH ROBOT

Task delegation:

Thinesiya: Maze algorithm, sending done signal, sending packets in a less cluttered way to speed up maze traversal, make amplifiers for treasure detection because we only have one.
Stephanie: Formatting packets for base station, keeping track of elements in an array, incorporating SPI code into the base station code.
Alan: Arduino to FPGA communication (SPI)
Yijia: VGA display
Mira: Make circuit for start button, treasure detection

Overall Goals: Finish the robot!!!! Need to finish display. Catch up on things we didn’t quite complete in time for Milestone 4.

Problems: We…dropped the robot, oh no! One of the wheels probably needs to be recalibrated; it continues turning even when nothing is happening.

Note Taker: Stephanie Lin

Overall Goals: Next milestone

Activity summary: Focused on putting the robot together with our new parts, including the Arduino Mega.

Problems: The robot isn’t moving anymore??? Strange. Need to fix.

Note Taker: Stephanie Lin

We have a few teammates who will not be present, so this will be about dividing work amongst the rest of us.

Overall Goals: Catching up and fixing components. Finish milestone 3.

Peter: FPGA display
Yijia, Stephanie: Radio
Alan: SPI, connecting radio info to the FPGA board
Mira & Thinesiya: Assisting everyone remotely because they’ll be away. Thinesiya will ensure that the lab report is comprehensive.

Note Taker: Stephanie Lin

Gathered in Duffield during the week to discuss how we would divide our next tasks.

Overall Goals: Create a functional robot that moves, follows the wall, detects lines. (Extra: if there’s time, integrate algorithms into a merged file, do radio communications)

Peter: Build robot, help with communication
Alan & Yijia: Finish Radio, communications test
Thinesiya: Work on maze algorithm, test algorithm
Stephanie: Line and wall sensor calibration, motor code
Mira: Build robot, motor code

Today was a planning session.

Meeting Minutes for today can be found here
We also complied a list of compnents to by.

Note Taker: Stephanie Lin

After the first half of lecture, we gathered in Duffield and…

Reviewed progress made on robot
Taught each other how to use Github/how the website is set up
Discussed lab goals for that day

September 1, 2017:

Note Taker: Thinesiya

Had Lab1: everyone attenended
Made progress on Lab 1 and made sure to take pictures and vedios
Stopping Point: Assembling Robot
Agreeded to come to Saturday Lab Hours (9/2) to make sure we finish up Lab 1
