This week, I was not able to accomplish as much as I would like to because we ran into many issues trying to recompile the model to work with the Hailo accelerator. I was not able to recompile it on my laptop, so we had to try to compile it on Ankit’s laptops but that came with its own set of errors. Currently we are stuck on the recompile step, but once that is ready everything else should work.
Our progress is on schedule. We have talked to the professors about what we will have for our interim demo, and we should definitely have that ready in time. Our drone is very much on track and having the vision component working soon is good for our overall progress.
By next week, I hope to have the model recompiled for the Hailo accelerator and a chassis designed to put the Raspberry Pi on the drone. I also hope to have an idea of how to convert the drone battery power into a current/voltage that the raspberry pi can accept.
