Scribe: Ben
I. Things to discuss
a. Ethics HW
i. Due Today
ii. Finish editing
iii. Upload to Github
b. Finish Robot
i. Add 660Hz tone detector and make it part of code
ii. Add pushbutton as backup if/when 660hz tone detector fails
iii. Add a done signal to robot
iv. Crimp all the wires and make robot look neat
v. Increase speed of robot, remove stalling at intersections, while making sure everything is still operational
vi. Stop moving when the maze has been solved, even with non-visitable locations
vii. Solve power problem
viii. Add and test treasures
1. Add to Arduino code
c. FPGA Code
i. Change +/- and x/y to an array index system (unless you think current system is trustable)
1. If converting to index based system, moved variable is not necessary. Actually, the moved variable does no good right now, because we only transmit when we move.
ii. Make a fancier looking “Done” signal on screen
iii. Resolve wall glitches/clocking issue.
II. Due Dates
a. Ethics HW - Nov. 27th
b. Final Competition - December 4th, 10am - 12:30 pm.
c. Final Website is graded - Dec. 6th
III. Action Items
a. Ben: add ethics HW to github
b. Dave: edit Ethics HW
c. Stick with fft on Arduino
d. Erika and Dan: Look into using SPI instead of parallel communication
e. Ben and Aasta: Get robot to stop once all are visited***
f. Fix glitch with the walls
