Week 11

This week Brigette submitted the revision 2 PCBs and printed the H-Bridge and logical boards. She soldered all the components onto the PCBs and then began testing. There are flaws with the H-Bridge PCB and the logic PCB. This week has been completely utilized towards debugging the PCBs. She is not completely aware of the problem with the boards right now but is working hard to make sure they are up and running by the end of next week.

Trent Wargo was assisting Brigette Cochran in working on the H-Bridge. After spending several hours trying to debug the H-Bridge and logic board, Trent moved back to working on the power distribution circuit board that he had already been working on. By the end of the week, Trent had a PCB design created with Eagle and sent his design to Jim Weber to be printed. Next week, Trent plans to have parts implemented in the power distribution circuit board to begin testing the PCB.


The computer vision team is now trying to combine Gabe's current algorithm with a camera calibration program. Harris is currently writing a MATLAB code that can solve for the values of the transformation matrix and the translational vector of the camera plane to the real world plane, RRrc. After this Gabe will utilize the following code to complete the required tests.
