This week has consisted of a lot of group work, finalizing our design requirements and specifications. Since I was giving the design review presentation, the front half of the week was spent heavily putting that presentation together and preparing to give that during class on Wednesday. Since then, it’s been a lot of group work as we finally have all of our sensors so we can really start collecting data and figuring out how we want our final design to…
This week was mostly spent on finalizing our requirements and design for the project for the upcoming report. As a group we worked on setting up our various sensors with the raspberry pi and testing them out. Based on testing results and the distance and angle specifications for the ultrasonic and lidar sensors, I came up with a new design and worked out all of the math for a new sensor approach with 3 Lidar sensors, that we’ve decided to…
This week our main focus was on the Design presentation and document. We worked on compiling our work. And finalizing our sensor configuration. We got the ultrasonic sensor to work with pi through an arduino and tested it as a team. We performed tests at 2m, 4m, 6m, and 8m (at varying degrees) in the lab room and tested varying modes of the sensor. We determined that the voltage mode was most acurate but the values were very unstable at 8m….
