October 26, 2009 Current Issues Wii Remote Payload Testing Status - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

October 26, 2009

 Current Issues  Wii Remote  Payload Testing Status  Tasks for this week

 Purchasing Issues  Jason Boyd is the “class administrator” contact  He says it is easier if we send him forms via email Agenda  Send request to advising  Current Issues professor  Professor forwards request to  Wii Remote him if they approve  He does the purchasing —  Payload Testing Status apparently “reimbursement” doesn’t happen anymore  Tasks for this week  This may delay the purchases of we currently have…he said he would get back to me.  Need to purchase a Wii Sensor Bar for testing.  No response from either company about sponsorship request.

 Wii Remote Research  Infrared camera reports X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) locations of the two groups of Agenda LED’s on the sensor bar.  Both dimensions have 10 bit  Current Issues resolution  Wii Remote  This allows for roll calculation  Should allow for distance  Payload Testing Status calculation from distance between known two points  Tasks for this week  Unsure of values for when the remote is directly centered and level with sensor bar (origin values)  Other data can be sent, such as an estimated size and a bounding rectangle around each group of LED’s  School has no sensor bars!

 Please see the payload report data written by Matt Rich. Agenda  Current Issues  Wii Remote  Payload Testing Status  Tasks for this week

Mike   Write testing documents for the Wii remote  Begin testing Wii remote Agenda  Locate/Purchase Wii Sensor Bar Kollin  Current Issues   Research positioning systems  Wii Remote alternatives. Matt  Payload Testing Status   Begin Wii remote testing  Tasks for this week  Continue fabrication of flight test station Alex   Locate power supply with sufficient ranges to power helicopter.  Research voltage divider circuit (what kind of draw a wii remote has to get correct wattage for pot)  Research dc-dc converters .
