This past week I accomplished several things with respect to the capstone project. Earlier in the week I designed a control system between the PC and the Pi embedded in the car. This system was modeled after the ALU-OP system
Team Status Report: Week 3
Risks and Contingencies No new risks were identified this week. Camera stabilization and latency still remain our biggest risk factors and challenges. Changes to Design No design changes were made this week. Schedule Update No immediate schedule changes have occurred,
David’s Status Report: Week 3
Progress This week my task was to design and create the menus and UI for the racing game in Unity. I implemented UI elements for the main menu, lobby, race start, race overlay, results screen, and various other components. Progress
Bujji’s Status Report: Week 3
Week of Feb 24 – Mar 2 Worked on preparing for the design presentation on Monday. Had to put together the following diagrams to help explain the hardware aspects of our project. Continued work on the model of the car.
Bujji’s Status Report: Week 1
Week (Feb 10 – Feb 16) Worked out most of the bill of materials: IR Circuit: Researched how to improve the range of a traditional IR sensor and arrived at the below circuit (found at https://www.electroschematics.com/6114/long-range-ir-transmitter/). Circuit below can reach
Team Status Report: Week 2
Risks and Contingencies Identified that camera stabilization will be a significant issue for our project. We decided to add both hardware and software counter-measures to the project in order to mitigate this hazard with a stabilization rig using rubber bands
Status Report Week 2: Sourav
This past week I accomplished several things with respect to the capstone project. I continued to play around with the pi cameras to understand their functionality and what they were capable of. I did extended research into the output format
David’s Status Report: Week 2
Progress: This week I continued my work with learning Unity by finding and modifying game assets (3d models, textures, etc.) for the items we plan to include in our game. To the right is an image showing a sample scene
Bujji’s Status Report: Week 2
Week of Feb 17 – Feb 23 Finalized design of IR transmitter and receiver. Met with Professor Mukherjee and had him review and approve of both of the circuits. Continued work on the model of the car. Almost all features
Team Report: Week 1
Risks and Contingencies The CMU wifi networks may not give connected devices public ip addresses, which could force us to change our network architecture to meet latency requirements. We’re looking into it more this week. In the worst case we’ll
