Robot Group (Nick B, James, Thomas, Nick C)

  • Next Meeting: Monday at 8pm
  • Tasks

Software Group (Nick M, Sam, David, Dylan)

  • Next Meeting: Tuesday 8:00 AM (Communicating via email)
  • Tasks
    • Due Monday: Magnetic Mapper code v1.0
      • 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
        • Timestamp
        • Coordinates
          • (x,y) by tile
        • Expected Sensor Data
        • Actual Sensor Data
      • Using Brad's function, write data to CSV file.

Testing/Automation/Refactoring Group (Aaron, Nick C, Dylan, Brad, Gil)

  • Descriptions: Testing, Automation, Editing/Refactoring
  • Next Meeting: ?
  • Tasks
    • Compass Sensor Interference Test
      • Due Date: Monday at 8pm
      • Owner(s): Aaron, Nick C, Dylan, Brad, Gil
      • Purpose: Do compass sensors interfere with each other when placed close together?
    • Compass Sensor Calibration Test
      • Due Date: Monday at 8pm
      • Owner(s): Aaron, Nick C, Dylan, Brad, Gil
      • Purpose: Do compass sensors calibrate differently? Are some more likely to calibrate inaccurately or imprecisely?

  • Tasks
    • Determine Room Dimensions
      • Due Date: Tuesday at 8am
      • Owner(s): Patrick
      • Results
        • D128 - 22 x 28 (EW x NS)
        • D129 -
        • D124 - 24 x 28 (EW x NS)
    • Mark off origin, quadrants, and regular periodic difference
      • Digitally make note of "unreadable" tiles, i.e. ones with something immovable on them
      • Due Date: Tuesday at 8am
      • Owner(s): Patrick
