Laurel and I completed the code and electronics for the LED and 7 segment displays today. The bitshift can occur at speeds up to the max of what the E128 can SSP out (25 Mhz/2) For some reason, we found that bits 4 and 7 had to be switched on the charts for the LED display. Quirk: if you call the ShowBoatNumber() function, you also have to update the team affiliation. I placed the refresh for every 200 ms and it is functionally stable, though the update rate is visible.
Benjie and I have hashed out a scheme where we are constantly reading the analog voltages from the drumsticks and use the average for speed every 200 ms. It works out quite nicely; we want the voltage for max speed to be (at the greatest!) about 500 (value from the analog voltage in)
New iButton check on the PIC works fine. Now it will reject 0x00 and 0x00 as well as 0xff and 0xff as successive valid reads
Karl was able to ping the Helm in its "looking for iButton state" and the Kraft in its "waiting to pair state." That seems solid.
Our helm construction is well on its way. We have tested out hardware for the quack switch (works!) but are still seeing the pump turn on at the start. I have implemented a pump timer which will call for water until 10 seconds after the user stops yelling. The pump code currently is not functional; nor is the duck release. Those are top priority tomorrow.
Agenda for tomorrow:
Fix pump and duck release
Integrate with drumsticks
Make power system more stable
Waterproof the duck
