Eshita’s status report for 3/18

This week I worked on establishing a data collection pipeline for the sensors. The updated code now stores values and prints them in a CSV format, which will then be read by a python script from serial communication. This way, we can collect data efficiently and in a quicker manner. An example of the columns we tried collecting data with is shown below.

A major problem we faced was trying to work simultaneously on the motor calibration and odometry of the robot, while also wanting to collect data from within the car to emulate the readings the sensors will be getting. Hence, while Aditti and Caroline focused more on the odometry, I set up a pipeline that would be easy to distribute work within the team. We were also facing problems with the hardware drivers for our particular wi-fi module with Azure as discussed in our weekly meeting, so I am also working on code that will send across the JSON response to a python script that can run a classification model.
