Description
From Hassan:
"Hi everyone,
I have a suggestion. What about Chase takes the lead on understanding/testing/improving Alex capstone work. This will let us keep progressing in this idea without hindering any other progress in the team. He can look at the code and hardware and try to change Alex code to be based on RTOS and do some testing and come up with important conclusions on the effectiveness of this system and whether it can give us real advantage in a game scenario.
regards,"
From LeBlanc, in reference to the capstone folder:
- The DWM3001 Documentation should be an important folder, as the DWM3001 is the model of the Ultra-Wideband Localization nodes that they used. The command line instructions doc (CLI Commands) should be what you need to get the anchors and the "tags" set up (I think the anchors are the names for what goes on the tripods and the tags go on the bots). It looks like they also have the SDK (software development kit) they used for them in that folder.
- The code folder has the QB and receivers code as .cpp files. Based on the readme file in there I am a bit confused because it references the DWM1001's, which I thought they ended up replacing with the 3001's as noted above. After looking again at their report, maybe I remembered it wrong. It could be that they bought the 3001's thinking they would be an improvement and then ended up reverting back to the 10001's for the final implementation, or so it would seem from the report (Final Design Report in the folder with that name). I would recommend looking closely at the wiring diagram on page 27 and Level 1 system architecture on page 28. These provide a good visualization of the system. The pics on pages 29 and 30 are also helpful.
- The Tripod locations document in the Calculations folder may be important as well, as that may be the setup needed for the game.
i am not sure what else to really put here but that Chase will be working on the tracking capstone
