Some changes in I2C testing in the main loop

914 11/13/2008 09:59 PM Nolan Hergert

Changed the compile file from Charging.c to ConstantCharging.c

905 11/10/2008 10:36 PM Chris Mar

fixed makefile in Robot Debug to point to trunk library for dragonfly

882 10/21/2008 09:27 PM Brad Neuman

added comments explaining the columns

820 09/02/2008 04:18 PM Chris Mar

updated recharging code for the dragonfly. added doxygen comments. should be merged to trunk soon.

802 09/01/2008 08:42 PM Brad Neuman

fixed test code

797 09/01/2008 08:01 PM Brad Neuman

added basic test code for the archs board

790 09/01/2008 07:34 PM Rich Hong

add comments for battery prioritization

766 05/02/2008 12:48 AM Brad Neuman

added I term to current control, had weird issues with battery #4 where the current reading dops down to 26 for some reason. After this happens, unloaded voltage on bat (through multimeter) reads >6, even though it seemed discharged before. I am doubting it was fully discharged, maybe the 5 minutes actually forced too much current in?

762 05/01/2008 06:06 PM Brad Neuman

made some fixes to robot debug. Also added the current regulation to Charging.c, which seems to work!

759 05/01/2008 04:28 AM Chris Mar

fiddled with run around, filmed some demos. i have yet to make videos...i need to look that up

743 04/28/2008 08:17 PM Brian Coltin

Fixed compilation errors.

734 04/23/2008 10:19 PM Chris Mar

fiddling w/ run_around. i wrote a function that does move(0,0) and delays whenever transitioning between moving forwards and backwards. it calls wl_do() simultaneously, and wireless still appears to work.

715 04/14/2008 11:07 PM Chris Mar

tweaked smart_run_around for recharging...from now on, it will be known as smart_walk/crawl_around. slowing everything down seems to make recharging much more stable. maybe demo-ready.

703 04/14/2008 03:51 PM Brad Neuman

fixed hanging issues in stop.c, should work now NEEDS TESTING
updated to newer version of i2c.c

697 04/09/2008 09:16 PM Chris Mar

replaced smart_run_around with demo version from trunk. works much better now.

695 04/09/2008 09:09 PM Chris Mar

minor changes to autonomous recharging on the dragonfly. still experiencing problems with run around.

663 03/31/2008 10:08 PM Brad Neuman

it is having problems after the first charge where it gets stuck and stops sending anything

660 03/31/2008 09:14 PM Brad Neuman

stop.c actually does what the folder title implies
It only looks at the homing data and the contact stuff and sends it to the robot

645 03/27/2008 01:11 AM Chris Mar

Wireless commands to request charge and to depart station now work (don't know what was wrong). Demo is
possible...just need charge boards to work.

610 03/03/2008 10:49 PM Brad Neuman

no explosions! removed hack from ConstantCharging.c and ran a test w/ the medium inductor, no freq hack, and saved it in data

593 02/20/2008 10:32 PM Chris Mar

turned down speed on smart_run_around...recharging seemed to work better (very subjective, I admit). cannot attempt demo video until wireless issues are figured out (i.e. wireless "button press").

592 02/20/2008 09:18 PM Brad Neuman

bigger inductor seems to not work without the freq hack

547 02/11/2008 10:17 PM Brad Neuman

EXPLOSION! aka the boards are now testable and hopefully won't explode next time.
ConstantCharging.c currently has the frequency hack
the two data files are real battery tests

540 02/11/2008 09:01 PM Rich Hong

battery code now works

530 02/11/2008 07:38 PM Rich Hong

change battery() to battery8()

434 02/04/2008 07:53 PM Rich Hong

update assigning bay based on battery reading (seeking robot), also fix some bugs

410 01/29/2008 09:04 PM Brad Neuman

works for real this time! I haven't tried actually running a current through the board, but without that it shows proper debug values and Robot Debug/main.c formats them nicely!

403 01/29/2008 07:47 PM Brad Neuman

I2C works! and by works i mean it sends some stuff and then crashes Tera Term

383 01/28/2008 09:40 PM Brad Neuman

IT WORKS! i cleared portb. oops.....

363 01/22/2008 08:42 PM Rich Hong

Add battery stuff to charging station

361 01/22/2008 08:02 PM Evan Mullinix

added constant for battery packets

360 01/22/2008 08:01 PM Evan Mullinix

added battery level request handling and sending

356 01/22/2008 07:33 PM Brad Neuman

forgot the Makefile

355 01/22/2008 07:29 PM Brad Neuman

working on getting I2C working. its not.

340 12/15/2007 03:51 PM Brian Coltin

We're ready to do a two robot autonomous recharging video with run around, aside from some docking problems. There seem to be wireless issues with three robots, however.

337 12/15/2007 03:02 PM Brian Coltin

Minor updates to recharging, but the charging board no longer appears to tell us when we're done.

321 12/08/2007 08:16 PM Brian Coltin

Recharging still doesn't work with analog - analog not giving correct values.

267 11/14/2007 04:33 PM Brad Neuman

fixed robot debug part

266 11/14/2007 04:06 PM Brad Neuman

PWM hack works in that it increases frequency. I2C breaks everything. Added robot debug code which will just print everything it gets from i2c... hopefully

264 11/12/2007 09:42 PM Brad Neuman

First attempt at the frequency hack
NOT TESTED ON THE BOARD!

213 11/06/2007 12:07 AM Brian Coltin

Updated recharging code.

210 11/05/2007 10:51 PM Brian Coltin

Somewhat working version of recharging.

198 10/31/2007 09:24 PM Brian Coltin

Recharging updated.

195 10/31/2007 07:51 PM Chris Mar

added more battery detection code (currently commented out for demo purposes)...also uses rangefinders for departing.

189 10/31/2007 05:47 PM Brian Coltin

Addition of charging detection. (Miriam)

166 10/15/2007 07:52 PM Brian Coltin

Recharging now works, wireless has been updated.

148 10/10/2007 06:55 PM Chris Mar

cleaned up seeking, moved homing sensor code to homing.c/h (tested successfully)

138 10/09/2007 06:05 PM Brian Coltin

More progress on charging... Sometimes the token ring drops out.

137 10/09/2007 02:46 PM Brian Coltin

Updated recharing, software somewhat works.

126 10/08/2007 10:35 PM Brian Coltin

Fixed problems with motors, error in charging station delay_ms for BOM.

120 10/07/2007 03:36 PM Brian Coltin

Seems to work until we get to seeking, where there may be issues with the motors.

116 10/05/2007 11:19 PM Brian Coltin

Updated recharging code for the robot, it actually runs, trying to fix problem with orbs in debugging mode.

105 10/03/2007 07:58 PM Brian Coltin

Recharging code for the robots now compiles. It is entirely untested.

100 10/01/2007 10:04 PM Brian Coltin

Did more work on autonomous recharging for the robot.

98 09/29/2007 06:11 PM Brian Coltin

Added new charging station code to charging station branch, it now compiles.

96 09/29/2007 05:17 PM Brian Coltin

Moved charging station to autonomus_recharging branch.

95 09/29/2007 05:17 PM Brian Coltin

Removed charging station directory.

93 09/28/2007 03:52 PM James Kong

92 09/28/2007 03:48 PM James Kong

BRANCH autonomous_recharging branch created

91 09/28/2007 03:45 PM James Kong

added charging_station and dragonfly folders to autonomous_recharging

80 09/26/2007 07:36 PM Brad Neuman

I think I sort of merged in the auto echarge daughter board code

69 09/24/2007 08:55 PM Brad Neuman

"merged" frm the branch

33 09/12/2007 06:32 PM James Kong
