Highlights of the week:

  • We almost finished wiring our pneumatics system. The compressor, pressure relief valve, pressure switch, stored pressure gauge, and 6 solenoid manifold are all mounted.

  • Silvan helped us test the cargo intake system. We diagnosed leaks and the control code.

  • Four air tanks will be mounted using 3D printed mounts.

  • With the help of Edmond, a returning programming mentor, we finally got OpenCV up and running on the Jetson.

  • We tested powering the Jetson through the VRM

Upcoming:

  • Clean up wiring and tubing

  • Continue testing mechanisms as the mechanical team assembles them on the robot

  • Test communications between the RoboRio and the Jetson

  • Work on implementing auto aligning algorithms based on image recognition
