A Real Time 8-Ball Pool Helper to help you find and calibrate the most optimal shot.
This week was mostly spent working on the frame and Design Report. Now that the wood had arrived, since it was already behind, we spent most of the time building the frame to catch up. An early photo of our in-progress frame. More supports have …
These past two weeks, I spent most of my time working on the design report. Afterwards, I spent time creating outlines for the radio transceiver code. Unfortunately, I currently only have access to one Arduino, so I was unable to test my work. My progress …
This week I received my microcontroller and sensors, and was able to start making progress integrating them together. I have first started with the accelerometer/compass, and trying to get data read from that. I can get the data from a controller to my computer, but the program still has a few bugs I want to fix. I also got the pool table and began getting measurements to the pool cue so I can plan on how to attach the sensors and microcontroller, as well as making a hole for the laser to shine out of. This progress is all according to sschedule, and next week I hope to fix up some bugs in my code, and start working on getting the microcontrollers to communicate with each other using the radio transceivers.
This week I continued doing research for which parts I should order. My main focus was in whether or not to use a RPi instead of an Arduino. The main tradeoff is between price and ease-of-use. Many of the sensors I am planning to use …
This week I did our Proposal Presentation. In preparation for this I also did research on what the required specs for our camera and projector would be. I also did research on possible sensors for our pool cue. After the presentation, . When the order …
