Codes Used for Preliminary R&D
Includes code used for…
- Programming basics where group was familiarized with commands
- Reflective sensors test; introduced group to the reflective sensors
- Introduction to data analysis tool, group was familiarized with this program
Code Used for Propeller Configurations in Advanced Research and Development
- Includes code used for every propeller configuration
- Code was kept constant for every configuration: did not introduce another variable
Code Used for Motor Configurations in Advanced Research and Development
- Includes code used for each motor configuration
- Code was not kept constant
- Speed kept constant
- Code was altered using “reverse();” command as some motors were facing opposite direction
Code Used for Performance Test 1
- Code was updated each Lab Day during Lab 9
- “Lab 9c” is the code used for Performance Test 1
Code Used for Performance Test 2
- Two codes were tested to determine the most energy efficient code
- “Control Code” was most energy efficient and used in Performance Test 2
Code Used for Final Performance Test Preparation
- Contains code that integrated the “goToAbsolute();” command
- This command was used as it was determined to be more accurate on a run-by-run basis
- “Completed Code” was used as basis for every run of Final Performance Tests
Codes Used for All Final Performance Tests
- Each code was unique to the track and battery of the run
