I would like to turn in the final documentation on Friday when we do
the presentation, maybe even on monday.
Has everyone done their two pages so duc can compile their
documentation? I'm going to work on the other sensors Sunday so we can
have a nice working prototype to show next week. I also created a more
viable 3d model and put it in duc's slide (we will use ducs slides
monday). you can see the video here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAvIcvFEMZE
If you havent done anything yet please just knock out those two pages
so we can get the documentation compiled ! Seriously a few paragraphs
and some diagrams/code should not take that long.
Dont wait till the last minute! I'm not planning to do the
documentation so if it does not get done its not going to just
"happen" we are going to get a bad grade because of no documentation.
But i'm sure it will all get done.

I have just uploaded my first motors code. I am sure it won't work
the first time, but its a start. Documentation is coming!

Just uploaded my pages of documentation....Would have had them up
earlier but I went to that student leadership banquet tonight and was
working all morning so I didn't have a chance to finish it until just
now.

Didn't have a chance to really work on it today, but I have started on
it. I figured I'd go into why we're using one battery type over
another as well as the charger. I'm hoping to have it up here
Saturday night at the latest.

Just a summary of what you did during the semester would be good too. We can have detail since its documentation but dont kill yourself. I would just contrast the charger designs ... talk a little about the one that didnt work, just talk about what you spent time on.
Ultimatley we need all the documentation done to turn in by next friday, but thats in duc's hands, but of course duc cant put it all together until he has it. If you get it done early enough duc i can look it over and see if i can improve on the documentation anywhere. |

Ok, I'm gonna have to work on it hardcore on Tues.-Thurs. As you can
see I've made a template for the documentation but it is far from
where I want it to be. And I'll work on some extra slides tonight for
the practice presentation on Mon.

I've uploaded my documentation. Went past the two page mark, but I
figured too much was better than too little. Anything that you guys
want me to change, add, or otherwise alter, let me know.

| Ok Joseph Good Job, so far we have Trent, Joseph and Me done with their documentation. Duc has a template and is ready to fill it in. Everyone look at this diagram, this is what our "robot" is going to "do" this is its purpose. We basically want to be able to control the robot through the internet to demostrate how a human workforce could be automated through the internet( outsourcing anyone? ) Duc, tues-thurs is not really good enough. I would really prefer to look over the documentation before we submit it. I dont want stuff in there that is erronious, like old diagrams and such that dont really have anything to do with what we are doing. Its not that I dont trust you its just that I have a clear picture in my head of what the project is about and it changes quickly. For example this is what our current goals are http://uhclseniorproj010.googlegroups.com/web/jinx_overview.png?hl=en&gsc=qnzfiwsAAACmDSW8YMMQIvcFKbXxqLSk I know you will prob do it all right I just want to doctor it up to make sure It reflects what we want to do next semester. Just do your best and have it done by wed night so i can finish it off and upload it thursday. Call me if you have any questions. you should be able to start now and just leave a space for Scotts contribution. I'm pretty sure Scott is almost done also, he said he just needed to write up some documentation, he has already submitted the code. |

I'm not sure what you mean by this: "So you will need to make a list
How is the case statements different from
set_adc_channel(sensorNumber)? Does it not do the same thing?
---start function---
#define ls0 0
#define ls1 1
#define ls2 2
#define vref 5
float getSensor(int sensorNumber)
{
int16 adc_value;
float volts = 0;
setup_adc_ports(ALL_ANALOG);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
switch(sensorNumber){
case '0' :
set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(10);
case '1':
set_adc_channel(1);
delay_us(10);
case '2':
set_adc_channel(2);
delay_us(10);
default:
break;
}
return volts;
}
----end function---
P.S. Guess no sleep for me on Tues. YAY!!! But seriously, I'll will
try to compile everyone's part in the documentation by Wed.

| No sleep on tuesday ? You have plenty of time, it should take you no longer than 2 hours to do the documentation, if you feel that you cannot let us know now before it gets too late. The sensors function looks fine, so did the other one. What we need is ... well we really dont know what we need but that function gives us options for each sensor which is great. See you all on monday. |
