hey everyone, we finally got a abstract figured out.

"Many jobs are filled with redundant tasks and large idle periods in
between. If workers could be in several places at once they could do
only jobs that need attention thus becoming a more efficient and
productive workforce.There exists a need for humans to be able to
manipulate objects from a distance through a readily available
medium. We propose to create a system in which robots can be
manipulated via the web to preform redundant and simple tasks. We have
created a prototype robot to test sensors and motors. The project
scope is limited too to the creation of the system and a simple robot
that can navigate. Sensors provide information to the user such as
GPS, acceleration and collisions. This gives the user the ability to
maneuver the robot reliably from a remote location across the
Internet. This project is a base from which others could expand to
include things such as a robotic arm."

I'll fix up the slides and let you all know when i upload them,
everyone should read over and be very comfortable with their slides.
Practice what your going to say in the mirror a few times and just
memorize it as a speech if you have trouble speeching.

Duc should have the documentation to me by the latest of WED evening
(not 2am!) so i can have at least thurs to look it over and add stuff.
I will be adding some stuff about the ultrasonic sensors and stuff.
The documentation template you made before was very nice but a little
over the top, it is more fitted to a large project like windows or
something. You know to cut it down a little, saving yourself a lot of
work. If you just want to slap all the documents together in a semi
coherent way and then send it to me that is fine.

Trent, I noticed in your presentation you said the 887 had internal
oscillation, I dont remember your exact numbers but make sure you say
" 32kHz to 8MHz " it is listed in the datasheet as "8MHz to 32kHz"
which is kinda deceiving. Also both chips have two ccp modules. I'll
update your slides so they have this information.

Joseph and Scott be thinking about what part of the project you want
to do next semester. How are your java/flash/php coding skills ? (no
reply needed)

To everyone,
good job, should be smooth sailing next semester !

the oscillator freq. i did have mixed up, however the 2 ccp i had
listed for the 887 was 1 regular ccp and 1 enhanced ccp with auto
shutoff/pwn steering, but still 2 ccp's. the difference that i had
said was that the 887 has 2 comparators where the 877 doesnt. the
comparator is for on-chip voltage reference.

I've uploaded what I've got so far. I've trimmed it down a lot but
it's still around 14-16 pages. Everyone did a very good job
documenting their part ( I still have to add in mine though. That will
be uploaded by tonight Mike ) The file is
Architectural_Design_Document.rar

I have not added in the Gantt charts or the HOQ but included in that
file is the template HOQ that Trent uploaded earlier.

speaking of which. i remember joseph was asking what the password on
the hoq document was. i finally found the macro for it, the password
is AAAAABAAAAAo.

Joseph you can get 8AA nimh for 6.50 here

The documentation looks pretty good. Duc if you want to just write about the line sensors and accelerometer, I'll write some stuff about the ultrasonic stuff since i'll be working on that tommorrow along with the actual sensors. Just write up the voltage ranges we will be expecting from the line sensor and accelerometer, and how we used the line sensor this semester (and results).

I'll see you all on friday, prob via email sooner

Do good, Be Well,
Michael
