Lab webcam is fixed. Apparently an update changed read permissions on webcam devices and I had to add the user to the video group.
Our new obstacle avoidance is AMAZING compared to APF. I will never use APF when trying to navigate again. I said it Alan.
Heat 1: 2 of 3 runs attempted. Didn't make it to first turn. Will be working on making startup solid and a better avoidance system.
Lidar comm cable replaced. Note: Don't try qualifying after 3 hours of tuning. Finishing qual once batteries charge.
Having some issues with the lidar dieing on us. Trying to separate the power/signals wires and hope it's nothing serious.
Well we didn't qualify today. Had some problems with the LiDaR and tuning parameters. Put in some fixes and will be back bright and early.
AMOS can lane follow damn near perfectly. Made some changes to get apf to cooperate with lane. Testing after charging again!
My suspicions about the numerical precision issues with the GPS fix were correct. You try working with a number near 5 million.
We have the mission planner nearly done. We are now tuning lane following. I also believe I figured out the world -> map transform issue.
Design presentation is finished. Now its back to programming until we practice before our presentation at 4:30
All setup at IGVC 2012! Everything is powered up and working, including some last minute changes to strobe the warning light.
For anyone working on a BeagleBoard C4, check out our Eagle device for making expansion boards! mdrc.rit.edu/filemgmt/index.…
