Last Sunday, our team finalized the Gantt Chart and schedule for the project. On Monday, I presented the proposal. After that, we worked together to divide up which components each of us would focus on researching for ordering. I researched batteries for powering the TX1 and concluded we should buy a 3S LiPo battery along with a charger, a charging bag and an XT-60 male to 2.5 mm barrel connector for connecting the battery to the TX1. In addition, I researched the type of camera we would need, using this calculator<\/a>\u00a0to figure out the width and height of the frame in feet given the camera’s focal length and distance to target. I found that a camera with a focal length around 4mm would give about a 20′ by 30′ frame when 20′ above the target. At a resolution of at least 720p, a back of the envelope calculation shows that this should provide enough pixels of the target for CV detection.\u00a0n addition, the smaller focal length means that the camera itself is a lot more study.\u00a0 Under these specifications, I found this camera<\/a>\u00a0that is meant to be connected to a Raspberry Pi, has the desired focal length and can provide 720p 60fps video (we only require 720p 30fps). Finally, in addition to researching these parts, I studied the datasheet of the TX1. I also downloaded Solidworks onto my computer and started learning how to use Solidworks for CAD design.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to start testing the TX1 this week since I needed a monitor, keyboard and mouse (which I am acquiring today). Thus, for next week, I aim to fully set up the TX1 and create some sample programs (such as testing out Wi-Fi communication capability). I will also download and configure ROS on the TX1. In addition to this, I will start researching methods for performing target state estimation and begin the CAD process for the housing for the TX1, display and the camera \/ Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
