Serris Status Update 3/7/20

  • Revised/finalized design report
  • Did more research on power issue and came up with a solution for the scope of our project
    • After testing power on each part, decided to have different power supplies for NodeMCU and L298N driver so enough current would be available for the Wifi connection
    • ordered more parts to test interacting with multiple vehicles
  • Was able to control vehicle’s motors through a Python server
    • Connected NodeMCU to same WiFi network and controlled motion by byte commands
    • Was able to do so without glitches or power issues
    • Able to get an upper bound communication latency time
  • Progress is as expected
    • After spring break when the parts come, will begin testing motion with multiple connections and multiple vehicles
