We
reviewed the flowchart yet again. We discovered a few small errors.
We updated it. We have met with Li to find out how programming is
coming along. It’s going slowly. I started a blog for me in case I
need a specific one as well - I don’t want to get behind the power curve
on a blog.
We then began our lesson plans using formats from last year which closely resemble the requirements. We are focusing on the 5 E Lesson Plans: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. We wrote portions of our plan - Engage and Explore.
We also met with Sharon due to the slow nature of our programming. She got a meeting set up with our entire team (that was present). The meeting began at 4 pm with Dr.’s Acevado and Namuduri, Li Li, Jennifer, Sharon, Liz and myself. We discussed the current state of the project and where to go from here. It was decided that by noon on Tuesday, the robots could drive around in a square (roughly). From there by Thursday morning, the robot would be able to avoid one simple object in its path. We will expand beyond that after Thursday.
In the afternoon, we all attended a short meeting to watch introduction training videos on LabView to prepare us for tomorrow’s 3 hour session. The videos covered topics such as graphical programming, programming tools, simple debugging, data types, and connecting to hardware.
