- Obtain printouts of any signals or other relevant plots of data
- Keep all this on your Rhea design notebook
Tasks for the upcoming week:
1.Begin prototyping with the development board to make sure that it can perform all the tasks we need it to.
- Write down specific tasks and requirements
- List how the board matches each requirement
- State anything lacking
2. Choose a wireless tranceiver that can communicate with our processor (Cortex M-3)
3. Choose a vehicle platform or two and get data on them.
4. Decide on the environment where the vehicle will be driven
- Will it be inside, outside, etc.
- What obstacles should it be able to handle
- What specific sensors will be used and what is their purpose
- Are there any environments we are excluding in our design parameters?
