* Tasks
 
** '''Due ASAP''': Magnetic Mapper code v1.0
 
*** Make start coordinates and Room ID passable by argument as an alternative to standard input
 
**** Right now they must be reinput every time the code is run
 
**** Compass IDs and expected headings can also be argumentized, but it is less straightforward because of a potentially variable number of compasses
 
*** Look at code for other potential improvements and document them in the wiki
 
 
 
 
 
* Old tasks (done)
 
** Respond to key input (done)
 
*** This is not implemented ideally. Currently one press starts the robot moving and the next press stops it instead of the robot moving only while the key is held down
 
** Implement motor functionality (done)
 
** Collect data
 
*** Sensor IDs (done)
 
*** Timestamp (done)
 
*** Room ID (done)
 
*** Coordinates (done)
 
****(x,y) by tile (done)
 
*** Expected Sensor Data (done)
 
*** Actual Sensor Data (done)
 
** Using Brad's function, write data to CSV file. (done)
 
 
 
= Testing/Automation/Refactoring Group (Aaron, Nick C, Dylan, Brad, Gil) =
 
* Descriptions:  [[Testing|Testing]], [[Automation|Automation]], [[Editing/Refactoring|Editing/Refactoring]]
 
* Next Meeting: Tuesday @ 6:00
 
* RESULTS of TESTING
 
** First in magmapper.py there is a call to get_type( ) but there is no get_type( ) defined.
 
** Second we need a better incorporation of calibration of compasses, so that it happens as often as necessary( however often that is).
 
** Third the bot has trouble staying in a straight line with current controls, as the stopping method is very sudden and causes the bot to unbalance and wiggle.
 
** Fourth moving the bot manually is faster and more precise than using the interface.
 
** Fifth it would be nice to know when the data collection was done. At the moment it says "Recording data..." but doesn't tell you when its done.
 
* Tasks
 
** Test [http://github.com/Sleemanmunk/Magnetic-Mapping/blob/master/magmapper.py magmapper.py]
 
*** Due Date:  Tuesday at 8am
 
*** Owner(s):  Dylan
 
*** Subtasks
 
**** Make sure documentation is clear (DONE)
 
**** Write a script to ensure each line of code in magmapper.py is tested
 
** Test [http://github.com/Sleemanmunk/Magnetic-Mapping/blob/master/nxt_common.py nxt_common.py]
 
*** Due Date:  Tuesday at 8am
 
*** Owner(s):  Aaron, Dylan
 
*** Subtasks
 
**** Make sure documentation is clear (DONE)
 
**** Write a script to ensure each line of code in nxt_common.py is tested
 
** Test [http://github.com/Sleemanmunk/Magnetic-Mapping/blob/master/record_data_lib.py record_data_lib.py]
 
*** Due Date:  Tuesday at 8am
 
*** Owner(s):  Dylan
 
*** Subtasks
 
**** Make sure documentation is clear (DONE)
 
**** Write a script to ensure each line of code in record_data_lib.py is tested
 
** Compass Sensor Calibration Test (DONE)
 
*** Due Date:  Monday at 8pm
 
*** Owner(s):  Dylan, Gil
 
*** Purpose:  Do compass sensors calibrate differently? NO  Are some more likely to calibrate inaccurately or imprecisely? NO
 
** Compass Sensor Interference Test (DONE)
 
*** Due Date:  Monday at 8pm
 
*** Owner(s):  Gil
 
*** Purpose:  Do compass sensors interfere with each other when placed close together?
 
*** Results:  Placing the sensors as closely as possible to each other, Gil found no interference.
 
 
 
= Environment Preparation Group (Brad, Patrick) =
 
* Next Meeting: none
 
* Tasks
 
** Determine Room Dimensions
 
*** Due Date:  Tuesday at 8am
 
*** Owner(s):  Patrick
 
*** Results
 
**** D128 - 22 x 28 (EW x NS)
 
**** D129 - 13 x 15 (EW x NS)
 
**** D124 - 24 x 28 (EW x NS)
 
**** The origin is the big cross in the center of the room. North is marked with a diagonal arrow. North is positive on the Y axis and East is positive on the X axis.
 
** Mark off origin, quadrants, and regular periodic difference
 
*** Digitally make note of "unreadable" tiles, i.e. ones with something immovable on them
 
*** Due Date:  done
