I have completed code that reads from the cyclometer and passes a DRIVE command to the vehicle. The drive command implements a sequence of speeds, each effective for a given distance. First phase of testing is complete. The first test in self-drive will be: tell the vehicle to go straight for a few meters and stop. Next step is either
1) Write a simulator that gives vehicle speeds when it is commanded to go a set speed.
2) Put the code on the trike and see how it performs on the stand. Should be easier than writing a simulator, but not as repeatable.
When we are satisfied with the behavior, we'll take the trike outdoors and make it go.
Driving according to a profile is basic; once we have a speed profile working, we'll move to a turn profile and make it execute a programmed pattern.
Anyone available for testing in Bothell on Thursday afternoon?

Budi -
What time I go depends on when others are available. I'm free all day today (until 6:00). Thursday I'm constrained by a dental appointment in the morning and a conference call at 7:00. Please invite others.

Will this be at UW Bothell or at your place?

The vehicle is in Bothell, and I was thinking of going there. No one has come forward to work on it, so I may work on something else tomorrow.

Sorry! This is mad panic rush time... The "soft" end of Google Summer of Code is the 11th, and the drop-dead end is the 18th, so our students are frantic. And I owe my student two supporting code mods. And tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of OpenStreetMap, and I'm doing a history / pitch / demo for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)...and I haven't used the new version of the HOT task manager, so have to actually do some mapping using it before I try a live demo. And I'm taking a data science course, and found what appears to be a bug in the "correct" answer for one problem set that involves spending real money on a real AWS Elastic Mapreduce cluster...so now I'm behind on the next problem set. And and and...
Is the new code on GitHub? I should be a bit less tied up by the 11th. Will there be another work session this coming Thursday?
