Spent some time learning about the Jetson nano and the interactions with the Arduino. I have also been looking into how to best implement the UI and have made potential models that should be easy to interact with. The UI will ideally help the user correct any issues that occur and so my goal is to make it as accessible and useful as possible. I’ve also been thinking about a possible method of lining up shots that would not only be based on absolute coordinates, but also on relative distance to another cup that has already been made. Hopefully this could come into play if we encounter any accuracy problems in the future.
Logan’s Weekly Status Report (2/20/2021)
Exploring this project more I’m excited to get working on it. I spent this week working with everyone on the slides and doing some preliminary research/back-of-the-napkin math. I am anxious about some of the mechanical construction challenges but fingers crossed we don’t run into any major problems. I think that keeping our scope narrow we have a really interesting technical challenge and I can’t wait to see this robot come together.
Juan Pablo Weekly Status Report (2/20/2021)
The team seems to have a solid foundation for our project and should be able to put together an early prototype somewhat quickly. I believe we have developed a good system of splitting up the work and I personally don’t mind what I’ve been tasked to do. We look forward to diving into the unforeseen complications and adjustments we will have to make as we go along and this should not be a problem given the amount of time we have.
