Week 3

 This the third week of our year two project. In this week, we:                                                                                                                                 

1. Finish the code for the second Arduino board (Arduino Mega 2560).                                                    

2. Meet our academic advisor for some suggestions.                                                                                      

3. Keep recording in our logbook and blog.

During this week, we focused on the code for the second board, which is used to transmit data, receive the data sent by the first board via Bluetooth, and send the data to the computer through the serial port. The original version of code was like:





Then there was a problem with the actual connection with the computer, so the code was debugged and became, which improved the way of transmitting:






For the next week, we are going to test our small car and have some preparation for the bench inspection.

This is the first week of our year two project. Our group consists of Yifan Wang, Jiahong Wu and Maiwen Xia.  In this week, we: 1. Get some background information about our car. 2. Get the outline of the car. 3. Divide the work. 4. Create a logbook and blog and keep recording. As the development of technology, people are tend to rely on a smart system of home. Sweeping robot is one of them. Inspired by this, our project is making a simultaneously localization and mapping robot.  Based on the setting program, the sweeping robot is able to measure the distance from obstacles and build a rough terrain framework. Although it is hard for us to build a smart car like that, we decided to build a simpler one. To start with, we needed to get some background information about how to build and program a small car from the Internet. Specifically speaking, we tried to program it through Arduino boards. After learning some necessary information, we assembled the outline of our smart car. Also, we ha

This the fourth week of our year two project. In this week, we:                                                                                                       1. Finish and improve all the code for the Arduino boards.  2. Test if the smart car can finish the tasks.  3. Meet our academic advisor for some suggestions.  4. Keep recording in our logbook and blog. During this week, we improved the code and tested our smart car. Here are some of the pictures: Also, we tried to prepare all the materials for the bench inspection, like the poster.

 This the second week of our year two project. In this week, we:                                                                 1. Finish the code for the first Arduino board (Arduino Uno R3).                                                                    2. Find information for the second Arduino board (Arduino Mega 2560).                                                     3. Meet our academic advisor for some suggestions.                                                                                       4. Keep recording in our logbook and blog. During this week, we focused on the code for testing the distance and transmitting data through bluetooth. The sensor functions by outputting a signal  and measuring a change when the  signal changes. In the beginning, we tried to use the bluetooth on the first board to connect laptops directly. However, it did not work. So we decided to use one board as sender and another one as receiver. This problem would also be researched next w
