Updates From Friday (May 6, 2001)

Today: 6 May
parts yet to receive: propeller

coding done:
ACV:tested PWM and motors
tested RFID, works completely.
written Security chip State Machine
written Receive part of State Machine on Main PIC

CVC:
written State Machine. Currently Testing

Xbee:
testing. don't yet know if they work

To do:
start soldering bigger circuits (if any)
start prototyping (after Matt's exam)

Things to buy/get:
larger circuit board, wires?
a box to keep all our material in place

Small Snippets of Code that may be required to check the Receive State Machines:
A code which sends a fixed formatted message from e128
a code which sends a fixed formatted message from the pic

Aims for next couple of days:
protoyping after Matt's exam finishes tomorrow
get Xbee working (hopefully tonite)
Get ACV and CVC state machines working (hopefully by tmrw nite)
We have to get this done by Monday, 9 May. 10 May is the checkpt.

Attached is an almost final draft of the protocol decided by the Comm Comm.

  1. parts yet to receive: propeller

    coding done:
    ACV:tested PWM and motors
    completed: SC (PIC2), RFID(PIC3), Receive UART (Xbee)(PIC1)

    CVC:
    written State Machine. Currently Testing. TX works. RC should work?

    Xbee:
    definitely don't work. Jackie will build and test new ones on sunday night.

    To do:

    Things to buy/get:
    larger circuit board, wires? (Radioshack, spdl?)
    a box to keep all our material in place (Matt)
