Week 4: It's My Birthday! Also Trees.

Daniel - Blueprint

Drew a blueprint design for our chassis

Also did a mockup on the wood panel.

Jeremias - Wood

Cut wood into 8x8 panels

Sailesh - Camera

Got old camera (set it up with the breadboard and pullup resistors)

Got new camera

Sailesh, Daniel, Jeremias - Camera (both Old and New)

Worked on old camera and declared it useless as it has no libraries and no documentation. The code base online is meant for an arduino, not telego.

Explored new camera (which we already got) and further worked on our design. Already working on some small things such as the development of the chassis and the operation of the motors.

Daniel, Jeremias, Sailesh, Han (All)

Tested taking pictures on new camera

Parts update

We got our motors (2 for 2wd), motor driver, board, new camera, scooper.

Wheels are being shipped.

Motor Driver came in

Upcoming work:

Get Battery (12V, max shortest dimension 3 inches)

Get Camera to work (and use OpenCV library) Get motors bolted in place

Figure out how to secure front wheels (that don't have motors) Work on the scooper set up (Still need the servo)

TL;DR

Parts are all coming in

PCB is being developed

We have done some work with the cameras
