Carlab 2010: Carlton Chow and Chris Tralie

Logbook Excerpts


  1. All CodeWarrior beans for configuring our hardware devices attached to the microprocessor

  2. This entry explains our first "extra feature," which made the robot turn its wheels based on what pitch someone played on a musical instrument (using the built-in microphone on the microprocessor)

  3. This entry explains our second "extra feature," which provided a visual for the finite state machine that said where the car was on the track

  4. This entry explains how we made the finite state machine that tracked turning

  5. This entry explains how we tweaked line detection using a C2 video camera

  6. This entry explains how we did obstacle avoidance using an IR sensor and a pre-programmed obstacle avoidance motion routine

  7. This entry explains how we fixed a bug in our PID speed control last minute that allowed us to have our robot move at a constant speed along the wrinkly track

  8. This entry explains how we set up a wireless base station on our laptop that allowed us to get debugging information much more quickly during crunch time

  9. This entry explains how we used the Ziegler Nichols algorithm and our wireless base station to tune our PID speed control
