Revision as of 14:35, 25 January 2015
Design
To provide for narrower controls for transport, driver #1's side of controls (i.e. 2 joysticks) will slide to the right and cover the laptop. These will automatically lock.
The intent is to have a simple release mechanism. When released a gas strut will automatically open the controls.
- 2 joysticks for main driver
- 1 joystick for aux driver
- 1 3-way toggle for autonomous (up=a pre-picked auto-mode; center=no auto; down=use auto-mode that is selected on Dashboard)
- 8 broken switches
- Laptop for Dashboard
- Robot IO Map

because there is limited space within the controls this year, this is on hold until the wiring and placement of power is mocked-up |

need to determine what goes on the Smart Dashboard and lay it out We will have large camera feed with the gripper and lifter gauges on the botton and side (see picture in Design section above). We need to talk to strategy about 1 or 2 camera feeds |

Meeting Minutes
1/6 (Chris, Mr. Byers)
- discussed preliminary options
1/7 (Chris, Mr. Byers)
- discussed preliminary options
1/8 (Chris, Mr. Byers, Eric, David M.)
- selected overall concept (sliding controls)
1/10 (Gunnar, Alyssa, Andrew, Eric, Mr. Byers, David M.)
- inventoried parts we have
- determined controls we thought were needed
- went over desires from strategy team
- Home Depot shopping run
- met with Elliot to select secondary controls
- created wiki page
- created todo list
1/11 (Alyssa, Andrew, Mr. Byers)
- investigated latch options
- investigated retractable cords
- selected board for controls
1/13 (Chris, Eric, Mr. Byers, Gunnar, Andrew, Alyssa, Dave, Frank)
- Chris worked on the main base and assembly
- Gunner worked on the very complicated drawer slides
- Alyssa and Andrew worked on the Aux panel
- Eric found a gas shock that will fit our needs
- Attended integration meeting rom 6:30 to 7:00
1/14 (Chris, Mr. Byers)
- Chris updated assembly
- changed laptop mount so we have more space between it and the sliding lip
1/15 (Chris, Eric, Alyssa, Dave, Frank)
- Chris worked on the main base and assembly
- Alyssa worked on the lightning bolt cutout
- Eric found three way and broken switches and got them along with the gas shock on the shopping list. Datasheets are located in a datasheet folder with the rest of the controls stuff.
- Attended integration meeting rom 6:30 to 7:00
1/17 (Chris, Andrew, Gunnar, Alyssa, Dave, Eric, Mr. Byers)
- Chris worked on finishing the final assembly and the latching mechanism
- Gunnar worked on cadding up some of the electrical components, looking up some possible latches, and cadding other random parts.
- Andrew worked on the final drawings with Chris, finalizing the aux panel, placement of words, figuring out the hinge situation, and looking up other important information
- Alyssa worked with Andrew with his tasks as well as finalizing the lightning bolt cut out
- Eric and Mr. Byers assisted the students with their tasks, and kept them on task and at work.
- Attended integration 6:30 - 7:00
- Met the deadline for the design
1/18 (Andrew, Chris, Alyssa, Eric, Mr. Byers)
- Finalized all of the parts
- Made all of the drawings for the parts
- Sent the parts out
- Secured a extension cable for the inside of the controls
1/20 (Andrew, Chris, Alyssa, Mr. Byers, Eric)
- Fixed incorrect drawings and resent them to Harris
- Completed one of the drawings to be made in our shop
1/21 (Andrew, Chris, Mr. Byers)
- Andrew worked with the development board and downloaded the software to the laptop that will be used in this years controls
- Chris worked with Mr. Byers and updated the io map for the joysticks; talked with Elliot too, to make sure we mapped the buttons the way he wanted.
1/22 (Chris, Gunnar, Eric, Mr. Byers, Dave)
- Chris worked with Mr. Byers and Mr. Cavaliere to get a bushing for the release mechanism
- Gunnar worked with Eric to create schematic for switches to LaunchPad
- Mr. Byers and Dave connected the LaunchPad and loaded the supplied HID firmware; and verified buttons worked
1/24 (Chris, Gunnar, Alyssa, Mr. Byers, Dave)
- Andrew got LaunchPad environment loaded, sample build and working, and updated sample to mathc our button map

- Worked with Dave S. to order more crimp terminals that are needed to connect to the broken switches and 3 way switch.
- Alyssa assisted the shop with building drivetrain parts.
1/25(Chris)
- Added a picture to the rendering section of the wiki detailing the latch design.
