Drivetrain System Progress Report

Team Meeting: Monday, October 9, 2016

Python Development:
  • Learned about the RC car
  • Learned that we need to make modifications to current Python code used for the Gopi Go to work with the RC car
  • Learned about the workings of a servo
  • Worked on coming up with a formula to use for the accelerometer to get the speed of the RC car in motion
Android Development:
  • Coding for dashboard has progressed
  • Managed to incorporate a progress bar to surround the speedometer 
  • Managed to get the symbols P, R, N, D to display at the bottom of the dashboard screen


Team Meeting: Thursday, October 20 2016

Python Development:
  • Using Gopi Go servo code for testing
  • Testing if old servo code for Gopi Go works with the servo that we obtained
  • Testing if the forward and backward movements from our Gopi Go car code will work with the servo
  • Old servo code used for Gopi Go was useless
  • Made modifications to servo code
  • Managed to get basic functioning of servo working

Android Development:
  • P, R, N, and D were programmed to change back and forth as toggle buttons to display what position the car has shifted into: Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive
  • Coding is being done to have the speed of the car display within the rotating progress bar
