In this weeks meeting, 10/18/17, we were able to brief the rest of the Spartan Superway team on our progress, specs, and future plans. The presentation can be found under Week 8 on our group blog, found here.
In the beginning of the session, Dr. Furman told us about an ME 106 group that is currently incorporating GPS into their end-of-semester project and that representatives from Swift Navigation will be coming to have a meeting with them about their product, the Piksi Multi, which the students are using. We, the Controls team, were told that we could sit in on the meeting, mainly because the idea of GPS has been thrown around for position sensing in the Small-scale team, as well as the Full-scale team. The meeting was informative for us but didn't really contribute to what we are working on currently. Maybe a group in the future can devote more of their time to GPS if they feel that it is a necessity in the (small-scale) project.
I'm currently trying to troubleshoot to see whether all conencting pieces (nodes) between my computer and the podcar are working correctly. We hope to soon have the capability to purchase a ticket and have a given podcar go from station to station.
