Assigned To
Description
Debug outputs, sensors Cristian Need to add debugging output based on DS inputs.  One button debugs one (or one small set of) sensors by printing useful information (decoder ticks, revolutions per min, etc).  Use unused drive joystick buttons (on the base only) or spare toggle switches.  If we run out, use a spare toggle switch to enact "debug" mode and change the meaning of other inputs.
Explore use of the camera
-
End goal: get camera to track either our own trailer colors or the opposition trailer colors (we want both to work eventually). Start by looking at the examples. Once you are familiar with the examples, try integrating the relevant classes into our code.
Field control system
Calvin
Develop a graphical application for controlling the field for Rally (does not use robot code, obviously! we'll be doing this probably in Java).
Mouse Interaction
-
After the mouse electronics are explored, if we need any sort of driver class, write one. Either way, a class should be written to track movement, providing meaningful X-Y movement in normal distance measurements (inches, feet, etc -- NOT ticks).
Trap door up/down LEDs
Cristian
Light these LEDs to respond to sensor input.
Update Driver's Station Firmware
Eric
Newer firmware for the DS is out. We need to update ours. [b]You must have a mentor help you with this task[/b]
Test new firmware with our FMS
Eric
Set up Rally FMS system and test with the DS firmware to make sure it didn't break us!
