Team members: Enchun Shao and Huyunting Huang This week, we collected our iRobot for our project. We have also learned how to assign instructions to the iRobot and then iRobot will follow the instructions such as LED display, moving correctly. Since our project is related to iRobot, we will learn more on that and start to work on our algorithm. After we are familiar with the iRobot, we will probably decide which sensor to use for our project as well.
This week, we try to build the manual mode for our project. Manual mode is used when people think the iRobot is not working normally. It includes up, down, left, right command and the iRobot's direction will be under-control in manual mode. Before building that mode, we try to implement the LED lights with Arduino to check if the connection with Raspberry pi is correct. However, there was always some errors when we were comping the code and we found that the code we designed did not work, when we are building the manual mode. We checked the hardware connection first and then coding error part such as GPIO import etc.. At that point, we thought this is one of the most important parts, so we decided to ask the professors and classmates for help. Finally, we found that some of the commands are written in Capital, some of them are not in the proper format. After that, we learnt that Python cares more about case-sensitive and format in some situations. This will really h...
