Presentation preparation and R&D

We were quite busy with putting our second presentation together. Before we could complete the presentation requirements, we did finalize our design for the track, bogie, and control system. We researched avail technology and material. We met up to discuss further project details and also get input from all team members. I am currently in the phase of testing Xbee communication and figuring out the Korean team's current program. It has been written neatly but without any comments. It has become hard to follow the flow and figure out how everything is interconnected. The block diagram is helpful in figuring out the connections of all the components. I will be looking further into the sketch and try some test codes on the Xbee communication.

Presentation # 1 Preparation

The team has met up at school on different days to complete the presentation preparation. I also looked into different position systems that are implemented in today's industry. I looked through serial and Wifi communication between micro-controllers and computer. Our goal is to order parts for the new positioning system and start testing the product.
