Adviser Meeting with Dr. Frank 2-3-2012

  • Held biweekly on Fridays at 12:30PM
    • Meeting will always be on the same week as our meeting with Dr. Harvey
  • We may need to purchase a another type of control board for the computer vision
    • The beagle board may not have enough processing power/speed
    • Another possible cause of the problem could be opencv compatibility with the beagle board
  • Midterm Hardware Demo. Feb. 23, 2012
    • The more done we have done and are capable of demonstrating  the better
  • It was suggested that our next milestone should be to have the vehicle in the water equipped with the thrusters and testing 
  • Possible Test for Camera
    • Small light refraction test with a laser pointer
      • Performed underwater and used to determine the angle of refraction on the viewing wall of the enclosure
  • For Presentation
    •  Dr. Frank will like to see more software architecture, different modules and flow chart diagrams
      • He feels as though we're at the stage in our project where should have a lot of code developed therefore a better understanding of how the vehicle will operate
