Minutes
@Thomas Watteyne
working on SCuM programmer programmer
clean software project
repo:
how to use?
install Python 3
pip install scumprogrammer
scumprogrammer
@Fil Maksimovic submitted his paper on lighthouse localization to IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2022
@Razanne Abu-Aisheh
Atlas works with pister-hack
Added Concurrent transmisison and dynamic relay placement algorithm
Algorithm works well but is very slow. Am working on re-architecting and optimising to make it faster.
@Felipe Campos @José Astorga Tobar
All DotBot Python package code consolidated in https://github.com/DotBots/PyDotBot
Implemented HTTP Orchestrator (single gateway) to control DotBot movement remotely
Goal: As long as Xbox controller, iPhone, or some centralized controller (e.g. Atlas) conforms to API specification, they can control a single or a swarm of DotBots via the Internet or localhost
MQTT skeleton in place to allow for several Gateways through the public HiveMQ broker
Focusing on updating Gateway and DotBot firmware
Passing calibration parameters & computing positions on-board DotBot (1. angle 2. x/y given 1 ceiling LH & height 3. x/y given 2 LH & homography + scale)
@Fil Maksimovic @Alfonso Cortés
Starting to work on getting a RISC-V core running on a TinyFPGA
Goal: flexible accelerators and peripherals
@Said Alvarado-Marin
Worked with Fil on submitting the light house localization paper.
Made some augmented reality plots in Blender for the paper.
Debugging Lighthouse glitch in DotBot.
Confirmed the existence of a software bug in the DotBot firmware. Bluetooth stops transmitting randomly.
@Mina Rady
Sending out PhD Manuscript today “Agile Multi-PHY Wireless Networking”.
Next: building a demo for a 100 km Mesh.
@Alex Moreno
boards
2 Sulu variants: with regulator or LDO
panelized fabrication
$350: pannel of 48 motes, expect 5 not to work, ordered 3 panels to have 129 boards
ordered a stencil as well
order placed
die testing
looking for what is going on
we shoud work on nRF+SCuM test programmer
9 pins
will be discussing with @Fil Maksimovic about
VDDD
@David Burnett
Has the program counter been inspected to see which instruction a vddtap chip stalls on? We should be able to use the digital scanchain to grab the program counter without the CPU operating.
