Transcript (Notes)

    • Scope: Our original introduction
  • Uploaded to GDocs
• Kyle tested Arduino Mega
  • Uploaded code correctly
  • Alex probably didn’t change the board setting when coding the Mega
• Register for the competition
  • Not up yet
• Arduino progress
  • IMU - Arduino communication
    • Arduino now reads IMU: pitch, yaw, roll
  • The Arduino sends the IMU data over the serial port
    • The IMU is plugged into the transmit and receive pins
    • This causes all communications with the computer to be the IMU data
• The air tank got filled up (it’s actually a scuba tank, says the paintball shop)
