| - | ==== Meeting Minutes - Nov 14, 2008 ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Sensors | ||
| - | * Putting blinders on sensors | ||
| - | * Problem that it might not detect close objects. | ||
| - | * Need more cure for sensors to each have their own area. | ||
| - | * Need to test thermal sensor -> see if can be used to differentiate between objects | ||
| - | * Will order more PIRs later in case some get damaged | ||
| - | |||
| - | Motor | ||
| - | * How much force on gears? Don’t want to break | ||
| - | * If use gears can use a smaller stepper motor | ||
| - | * Algorithm: | ||
| - | * Spline curve -> so can start acceleration with zero slope at beginning and zero slope at end | ||
| - | * Spline toolbox in MATLAB | ||
| - | |||
| - | Electrical | ||
| - | * Heat sinks | ||
| - | * Do we need an enclosure? | ||
| - | * Test on bigger TVs | ||
| - | |||
| - | Microcontroller | ||
| - | * Need a lot of analog ports -> 8? | ||
| - | * Serial output | ||
| - | |||
| - | Ordering plan | ||
| - | * Buy pre-fab controller, and purchase PING, etc. | ||
| - | * When see how much money left, then buy parts for custom controller and PIR sensors | ||
| - | * PERF board | ||
| - | * Need to put PCB boards in the budget | ||
| - | |||
| - | What we need now | ||
| - | * Excel table with minimum costs in a budget | ||
| - | * Possible other budget with custom controller, etc. | ||
| - | |||
| - | For next week | ||
| - | * Budget | ||
| - | * Test thermal sensors | ||
| - | *Test volume | ||
| - | * Look for evaluation board for controller | ||
| - | * Ease of programming | ||
