February 9th

Meeting Agenda 

Group Members in Attendance: Devin Fogerty, Justin Krantz, Nick Kurtz, Steven Prexta 

Date of Meeting: 02/09/18 

Planned Topics: 

  • Perform exploration #1 regarding light sensors, motors, and bump switches 

 

Meeting Notes: 

  • Some issues were had with sensor initially, potentially due to low charge of the proteus. 
  • The low charge of the proteus also caused issues with the motors; they did not run at the speed at which they were programmed, and they ran inconsistently. 
  •  The light sensor eventually worked as planned. 
  •  A servo motor was tested and successfully run based on values given by the light sensor. 
  • The proteus was charged for the second half of the meeting; this resolved the motor issues. 
  • The course was successfully navigated by the robot in the last five minutes of the class. 
  • All code that was written was eventually tweaked to work successfully for the given tasks. 

 

Plans until next Meeting: 

  • Gather materials for building the mockup robot.
