updated recharging code for the dragonfly. added doxygen comments. should be merged to trunk soon.
fiddled with run around, filmed some demos. i have yet to make videos...i need to look that up
Fixed compilation errors.
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.
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.
replaced smart_run_around with demo version from trunk. works much better now.
minor changes to autonomous recharging on the dragonfly. still experiencing problems with run around.
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.
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").
battery code now works
change battery() to battery8()
update assigning bay based on battery reading (seeking robot), also fix some bugs
added constant for battery packets
added battery level request handling and sending
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.
Minor updates to recharging, but the charging board no longer appears to tell us when we're done.
Recharging still doesn't work with analog - analog not giving correct values.
Updated recharging code.
Somewhat working version of recharging.
Recharging updated.
added more battery detection code (currently commented out for demo purposes)...also uses rangefinders for departing.
Addition of charging detection. (Miriam)
cleaned up seeking, moved homing sensor code to homing.c/h (tested successfully)
More progress on charging... Sometimes the token ring drops out.
Updated recharing, software somewhat works.
Fixed problems with motors, error in charging station delay_ms for BOM.
Seems to work until we get to seeking, where there may be issues with the motors.
Updated recharging code for the robot, it actually runs, trying to fix problem with orbs in debugging mode.
Recharging code for the robots now compiles. It is entirely untested.
Did more work on autonomous recharging for the robot.
Added new recharge code to autonomous_recharging/dragonfly
BRANCH autonomous_recharging branch created
added charging_station and dragonfly folders to autonomous_recharging
