Redmine Task #1907 (Assigned): Check speaker magnet interference with IMU/Compasshttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/19072011-11-07T21:48:08ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p>Will placing a small speaker near the compass (less than 1" away) cause interference due to the magnetic fields?</p>
<p>If so, how can we mitigate this? - Calculations, numerical values of separation, etc.</p> 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> Bug #1807 (Assigned): Website Work Loghttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/18072011-10-12T14:09:41ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p><del>Add pictures to the sensors & comm page on <a class="external" href="http://www.colonyscout.com">www.colonyscout.com</a></del></p>
<p><del>Default mode for sensors should be expanded, not collapsed.</del></p>
<p><del>Add contact page back to main navigation, or add comment section to "applications" page</del></p> Task #1800 (Assigned): Research PCB Assemby Costinghttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/18002011-10-09T19:01:55ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p>Max B has worked with EPD (<a class="external" href="http://www.epdelectronics.com/gallery.html">http://www.epdelectronics.com/gallery.html</a>) outside of Pittsburgh - slow turn, high volume.</p> Task #1798 (Assigned): Mechanical Work Loghttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/17982011-10-09T07:57:04ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<ul>
<li>Create undercut latch for hood (center, recess on front lip)</li>
<li>Increase height of hood scoop (aesthetic)</li>
<li>Model hood/switch as multibody part so changes to hood geometry propagate to buttons
<ul>
<li>Use offset surface so "1" and "2" cuts are constant distance from top surface</li>
<li>Create "V" pivot on button piece, and corresponding "V" cutout on hood</li>
<li>Create a slide-on locking piece to prevent button from falling out of hood</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Check wiring clearances inside rear chassis - some difficulty assembling right now<br /><del>* Change ScoutFly fasteners (4) to small thread forming screws, check clearance with headlights</del><br /><del>* Design triangular number flag on Sonar stem</del><br /><del>** Print a paper label and slide in one side, wraps around all 3 sides</del>
<ul>
<li>Label should have number (ex "101") AND allocation for naming (ex "Mr. Bickles")
<ul>
<li>name in small font, need to determine character limit, number in large font</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>

<p>Microphone + Speaker output, possible use a speech generation chip and/or voice recognition chip OR load software onto gumstix. Talk to ScoutFly over I2C and relay audio samples/recognized commands, provide verbal output for user feedback.</p> Task #1588 (Assigned): Loook @ Robostix AVR<->ARM Comms Implementationhttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/15882010-11-18T08:13:01ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p>Robostix (gumstix verdex + AVR) has a comms solution between two procs, bneuman recommends we check it out.</p> Task #1587 (Assigned): NanoRK Wireless Libraryhttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/15872010-11-18T08:02:29ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
<p>Max Buevich wrote the library, and it is open source. He is available for consult, and says he is better than the AVR manual :-)</p>

<p>Breakfly encoders 2 & 3 have completely different pinouts. These should be changed to match or at least be mirror images - will require board re-routing</p> Enhancement #1530 (Assigned): Create roboclub demohttps://roboticsclub.org/redmine/issues/15302010-10-21T04:51:33ZDan Shopedshope@andrew.cmu.edu
