Weekly objectives
- Implement message message saving via FFS and que functions
- Finalize design solutions for actuator
- Begin testing of methods for sensors and validate solutions
- Begin construction of external circuitry
- Implement server parsing and reading of email data
Challenges
- Lots of issues with message saving and creating “OSI packets”
- Confusion regarding the operating concepts of motors and servos
- Server Based functions not yet operational
Break Itinerary
- Receive parts
- finish untested methods for hardware
- prepare for system integration when we are all back
This week was spent clarifying design solutions and each group member’s responsibilities regarding subsystems. I think now everyone has a clear idea as to how their respective sub-system should operate and now it is just a matter of completing each unit in a modular fashion and integrating it together. One key accomplishment will be the server scripting and message receiving (yet to be completed).
