- Specifics
- I2C Connectivity --Abhinav, Nolan, Tim
- Difficulty in connecting, lots of issues
- Might be easier to just test I2C from charging base to charging base
- Motors/Lights/Wireless -- Kevin
- Lights blows away the timer settings for the rtc, which wireless depends on (it doesn't do "clear on compare match", while wireless does)
- Lights needs 16bit compare register
- Motors are on the other 16bit timer but only use 8 bits of precision
- Timer0 is free and is an 8 bit timer
- Move motors -> time0, lights -> timer 2
- BOM LED cover - Jimmy
- BOM LED cover designed; looks awesome. Not sure if parts have been ordered
- Charger Boards - Nico, Emily
- Functions for LEDs have been written
- Messed with the duty-cycle timer a bit; further work required
- Mapping data collection - Abe
- Changed polling interval to 20 times per second
- Most of the incoming data packets aren't being logged by the remote control program, probably due to interference from the outgoing control packets
- I couldn't get the robot to move via remote control with the new (odometry-using) code
- Nevermind
- Have basic framework in place to plot rangefinder data in realtime - Tudor
- Mapping with multiple robots - David
- working on behavior to take advantage of multiple robots
- not much code yet, but ideas more refined after meeting this week
- working on behavior to take advantage of multiple robots
- Token Ring - Tudor
- Trying to speed it up by dropping a bot from the ring if no ACK received, instead of by waiting for next robot to time out
