- Checkout the github repository
- git://github.com/Sleemanmunk/Magnetic-Mapping.git

Every time data collection
Setup
- Make sure all the compasses you will be using are connected
- The current plan is to use 4
- Make sure that bot_id.py refers to your bot
- Start up your program
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Each compass's ID is written on it in permanent dry-erase marker.
- Expected values and the details of the coordinate system are on their way.
Running: Repeat the following steps until the entire room is mapped
- Place your robot on the center of a tile
- Make sure to keep it facing the same direction!
- use the WASD keys to move the abstract coordinates of the box to reflect its new location
- press the spacebar and wait for the data collection to complete
When you are finished, press "q" to stop the program.
Send your resulting data file to /tmp in quark
