ACCOMPLISHED:
This week, I debugged and tested my code for the route planning system. Currently, the microcontroller can communicate with the server, it can connect to wifi, after a few minutes of standing outside, the gps starts to output location data. This data gets sent to the server, and it creates nodes between the microcontroller and a hard coded destination location. It sends back an arrow direction that points towards the next node in the route. When I get to the next node (within 3m), the server updates and points to the next node. The current issue I hope to address is when wifi goes out. During testing, this happened more frequently than I had anticipated. I will need to further test the system to see if this is something we need to fix, or if the wifi outage is short enough so that navigation is not impacted.
PROGRESS / SCHEDULE:
My progress is on schedule. I aimed to finish debugging and start testing this system last week and I was able to accomplish this goal.
DELIVERABLES / NEXT STEPS:
Next Week, I will:
- Integrate Lata’s firmware PDR code into my gps code
- Create user testing plan
- Write out justifications/ come up with justifications to all our assumptions in our design writeup.
- Continue testing my route planning algorithm
