We have a robot day this weekend and we're shifting focus to Zippy. Zippy is a golf cart onto which we've already installed braking and steering actuators. We now are going to turn this into an internet-based semi-autonomous (that is, driver goal assisted) vehicle.
Zippy drive-by-wire project review:
Hardware:
- test and confirm that drive by wire interface works.
- actuate forward and reverse
- actuate accelerator bypass relay
- perform and record ammeter test on Roboteq power draw while off
Software:
- Identify and prepare Player server box.
- Flush out software design and goals
