Matthew Guenette - Design Notebook
Digitization of physical notebook coming soon...
9/07/2011
Meetings will be Fridays from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Possible Design Protocols:
Use RC Car as base. (motor driving rear wheels, basic steering control)
-Autonomous function?
+complete a task +Arm with gripper +Paintball gun
-Web cam possible for user control -basic obstacle avoidance -Navigate a route

Made block diagram
Webcam options:
+Run through board +separate interface +Run to micro-controller boards (one for cameras, one for driving
Micro-controller selection:
+Texas Instruments +ARM +Arduino +PIC +Beagleboard
09/30/2011
- Missed meeting due to Motorcycle Trip*
-Will get meeting notes from Jason
10/18/2011
Decided on Vehicle Platform: Tank
+Simple Drive controls
+Large (1' x 2.5')
-Good for mounting electronics
+Turret
-Shoots airsoft pellets
-Good mounting for webcam
Will buy two so as to tear apart one
-Reminder: Ask Dr. J about finances
10/19/2011
Got keycode, computer, and locker in ECE477 lab
10/21/2011
Components that need to be decided on:
+Development board
-What features do we need
+wireless Tranceiver
+sensors
-What functionality goals do we have for this robo-tank
+accelerometer
+GPS module
-Use google maps
11/01/2011 VIP meeting
-Design presentation next week
-WiFi interface
Website Design: Csharp vs Java
Disassembled Tank
-ridiculously simple
Tank controller
No variable speed
each control lever is actually a SPDT switch -if necessary, connect microcontroller to remote, quite simple
fixed broken controller
