This week I helped to complete the robot construction. Using the L298N motor controllers we used the GPIO Pins on the Raspberry Ri to drive the four motors. Our end goal is to have the computer vision model talking to the functions we wrote to go forward, backward, left, and right, but at the moment we used keyboard inputs to decide which way the robot was driving
This week I also helped to construct the preliminary collimator that will be used to conduct our first successful fire test. This was a great success and worked better than we could have hoped it would.
This coming week I will be measuring the chassis we ordered to get a 3D model so we can start building a housing unit and a mount for the speaker.
