We will should have that tied up next meeting. We can fix the exploding bolt in the drive train that Andy referred to with some lock washwers we have next meeting. The drive train fix may happen a bit sooner even. The new robot, however, is about a 1 to 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

I'm also not sure of the behavior of the black box under load #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 oh, that thing. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 helpful hint: it is on even if the fan isn't running and it is switched off #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 i'm not sure what you're talking about #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 what black box? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 andy753421: the power supply used for the pulnix cameras #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 The big power supply thing. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:45 It has a gold box attached to it. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:46 ok, what are we using that for? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:46 Running the computer off of, apparently. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:46 alright #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:47 is that it for electronics? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:47 should be #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:47 alright, anyone have anything else? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:47 i am also going to get us on teh SGA meeting agenda so we can re allocate teh GPS fund to the electronics team #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:47 do we want to make sure we have a working GPS first? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:48 motor controlers i think are more critical #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:48 we could allocate ~$400 to electronics and $100 for a normal GPS (it should only cost $60 for one) #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:48 but i thought we had a working GPS #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:48 If worst comes to worse we can simply not do the navigation challenge. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:48 Also, Trac is evil.

I had forgotten that we had tried that #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:50 how about we get an appointment with SGA and then try to get the existing GPS's working before the meeting #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:50 then if we get them working we'll reallocate all of it, and if we don't we'll keep enough in the GPS budget for a cheap one #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:50 the cause of the fuse blowing was reversed polarity, I assumed that pin two was ground like it was on the pelican cas. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:50 or we could just wait to schedule the meeting #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 00:49 < auchter> polarity matters on these things, surprisingly #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 auchter: yes, < auchter> polarity matters on these things, surprisingly #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 waiting might be better #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 How long will it take for this meeting to actually happen? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 yes, there's no pressing need for them to reallocate anything #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 The software timeline has us needing an operational GPS pretty soon. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 it won't be till after break #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 it would be when we get back from break #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:51 we can do it after we purchase things even #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:52 tommost: I've got the test gps for you. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:52 Ah, yes, I forgot about that. #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:52 we have a test GPS? #rhrt: 12/16/08 19:52 Is it secure in any way?

actually make more sense than using an atmega168 + mcp2515 + mcp2551 #rhrt: 12/22/08 23:34 also... we could put a nice bootloader on there to reprogram all the microcontrollers over the CAN bus...

motor controller code #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:43 i was trying really hard to abuse the c preprocessor to make stuff pretty, but it turns out that the evaluation order makes what i wanted impossible #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:44 that is, it seems the evaluation seems fixed to left to right #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:45 which makes things like #define SOMETHING(a,b,c) a+=b+c #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:45 #define SOMEARG tmp, tmp2, tmp3 #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:45 SOMETHING(SOMEARG); #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:45 not work (very contrived example, i know) #rhrt: 12/28/08 16:46 so now i'm using m4... i'm not sure if this is a good thing or not #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:15 chtr: I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:16 it makes it considerably easier to maintain, so i think i'm sticking with it #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:18 example of how it helps: let's say i have an input on pin PB6. that means to set it as an input i need to say: PORTB &= ~_BV(PB6) #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:18 erm, DDRB &= ~_BV(PB6) #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:18 then each time to read that i need to do (PORTB & _BV(PB6)) #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:18 let's say i change that pin to somewhere else #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:19 like PD0... then everytime i read it needs to be changed to PORTD & _BV(PD0), and the initial statement to set it as an input becomes DDRD &= ~_BV(PD0) #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:19 that's less descriptive than being able to say PIN_LEVEL(ENCA) or PIN_INPUT(ENCA) #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:21 kleinjt: Do you know M4? #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:21 I think that's the relevant question. #rhrt: 12/28/08 17:23 i don't know m4. the extent of my use of it is
