Pi Car Discovery/Logs
Week 1 (Sept.3rd ~ Sept.7th)
Brainstormed on possible project ideas. Scheduled a meeting with Professor. Decided the best strategies about this project. Aimed at doing Pi Car as our projects.
Week 2 (Sept.10th ~ Sept.14th)
Wednesday Feb 7:
Group met from 2-4 to plan the project. We brainstormed and researched ideas for components of the project. Specifically, we discussed how to locate the exact position of someone in the room, how to instruct the user where to go effectively, and how to go about coding our ideas.
We met with our TA at 5:30 and narrowed down our ideas. Currently, we are thinking we will use FM radio Arduino module to locate the position of the user in the room. We will have separate Arduinos for each FM module. Then there will be another Arduino connected to vibration motors to instruct the user where to go.
Thursday Feb 8:
worked on the project proposal for 2 hours
Friday Feb 9:
Group met with instructor from 2-2:30. We discussed finding a different way of finding position in a room such as ultrasonic or infared sensors. Our first priority is deciding exactly what we will use to find position in a room. We also need to think about the standard of systems similar to ours for blind or blind-deaf people so we are giving them instructions in a helpful way.
Week 2 (Sept.10th ~ Sept.14th)
