Status Updates: 10/30/09¶
Weeks of 10/24/09 - 10/30/09
- Introductory Lab Demo - Hunter-Prey
- ADC Prescalar Testing - Evan
- Tested faster ADC clock running once every 500ms at different (constant) voltage levels
- Will test faster ADC clock running constantly (stress test, see if heat introduces noise)
- Will test moving voltage to see if consistency/noise is an issue
- Look at using function generator
- Remove Analog Loop - James, Evan
- Don't remove analog loop
- Look at timing, scheduling of other code around interrupt
- Filter (averaging, exponential averaging, butterworth, ideal low-pass) - Emily, John
- Using MATLAB to analyze the various filters - conclusive results hopefully next week
- Freq Responses
- Impulse Responses
- Truncated Impulse Responses
- Output Signals from Truncated Impulse Responses
- Using MATLAB to analyze the various filters - conclusive results hopefully next week
- Init Function Clean-up - Brad, David
- Checks multiple inits, dependencies
- Dragonfly library done, working on wireless library
- Something broke, need to investigate
- Maybe something was relying on multiple inits
- xbee_init()?
- rename to indicate serial, not xbee
- Makefile RAM size check - David
- adds up .data and .bss sizes and checks that they are less than 4096 bytes
- only in the unit test directory
- re-architect Makefile structure in repository
- use centralized model (changes will propagate)
- Get new XBee-to-USB boards
- Build our own or buy pre-made?
- Wireless cleanup
- meet this Wednesday to figure this out (and init stuff)
- SVN Access next week, presentation next Friday
- Part Order List
- Rangefinders - Jimmy
- Test New Rangefinders - Dan, Megan
