Redmine Colony Scout - Enhancement #1808 (Assigned): Video for Scout Introhttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/18082011-10-12T14:16:09ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p>ala Google's awesome sketchy intro videos<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRO3gKj3qw&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL32E866173C20352F">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRO3gKj3qw&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL32E866173C20352F</a></p>
<p>Recruit some design majors?</p>
<p>Rough Storyboard:</p>
<p>Sketch Scout wheels + base<br />Sketch a full computer+monitor -> open the hood -> computer drops into the engine bay, wheels shake away from base (like on a suspension)</p>
<p>Show robot driving over sketched hills/rocks, in your house over cords, thresholds, looking out over a grand canyon type scene :)</p> Colony Scout - Bug #1807 (Assigned): Website Work Loghttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/18072011-10-12T14:09:41ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu

<p>Either need to add code to preset &dataLength = 0 in /home/lama/projects/colony/trunk/code/projects/traffic_navigation/main.c (rev 1867) before calling wl_basic_do_default, or change wireless lib to set *length to zero.</p> Colony - Task #1570 (Assigned): Implement Intersection Behaviorhttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/15702010-11-09T00:28:18ZBen Wassermanbwasserm@andrew.cmu.edu

<p>Line following should be callable like wireless - once per loop, call<br />followline(int speed)<br />And line following should quickly take care of the rest.</p>
<p>We should also include a function to turn 180 degrees on a line.</p> Colony Scout - Task #1478 (Assigned): BOM Send/Receive Functionshttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/14782010-10-05T03:35:41ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu

<p>The xbee id should be set to the robot id (which is in the eeprom) on init.</p>
<p>The xbee currently just uses the last stored address in xbee memory, which works most of the time but is not failsafe.</p> Colony - Task #950 (Assigned): Wireless - xbee.chttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/9502009-11-27T17:54:25ZDavid Schultzdsschult@andrew.cmu.edu

<p>XBee and Wireless Init functions seem to conflict. dragonfly_init() appears to call xbee_init() [found in serial.c in libdragonfly], while wl_init() appears to call xbee_lib_init() [found in xbee.c in libwireless]. The two functions appear to be arguing over what to assign a few registers.</p>
<p>We found that to get the XBees to work, xbee_init() needs to be called again after drangonfly_init(), but before wl_basic_init_default() [which basically just calls wl_init()].</p>
<p>We also are not confident that calls to wl_set_channel() are working correctly, or if the channel is getting re-initialized by calls to xbee_init()/xbee_lib_init().</p>
