What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, I continued testing for our final demo and made a lot of tweaks and minor improvements to the vision and main modules. For the vision code, I made the speed calculation even more accurate, shrinking its +/- range by about 30% by more accurately factorizing box height. I also made the main module’s initial pickup time-sequencing more accurate by adding more complexity and minor variables to the calculation process. Additionally, I standardized angle values by updating and using a forwards kinematics function. The main improvements I made were to the timing, pathing, and adjustments of the command sequencing sent to the Arduino, focusing on improving grab rate and speed. I also presented our final presentation this week.
