  • Group 7 – Week 5

    Week 5 Mechanical We started off this week by dividing the workload into two. One worked on remodelling the tank in a way which can be laser cut as we were not satisfied with our initial design. This model will be used as a base for making the composite version.The other worked with altering and […]

  • Project Fetch (20.09-26.09) Week 5

    This week has been a slow one. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ was overheating frequently and failed to detect the SD-card in it. Afterward, it would frequently reboot unexpectedly when we were trying to certain things. So after spending some time troubleshooting and trying to work past the problem we had to give up, […]

  • Autodrink, week 38 and 39

    Report from last week is joined together with this week’s report since the website was down. Most of the time has been spent waiting for parts to arrive. New parts were ordered this week to account for the changes in the design. Some time was spent fixing the design of the pump motors. Using softer […]

  • Group 4: ASD – Sprint 4

    Date: 12.09.2019 – 19.09.2019 This week started with getting the software components in place. We installed Ubuntu on the Nvidia Jetson Nano and experimented with its functionalities by implementing the Raspberry Pi Camera on it. We started by adding nodes to the ROS network and wrote some code to publish images from the camera to […]

  • Shallow Blue Week 38

    During this week we have been able to use point cloud with the help from Steven and gather a greater understanding of the software. We have also gotten further on the design and motion of the board. Helge Sondre Ulberg, Oriana Presacan: This week we worked with the pointcloud for the detection. We got help […]

  • Group 02 – Project Report – Week 4

    Mechanical  This week has been characterized by a bit of waiting for the teachers to either accept or deny our budget. Luckily, as of 18.09.19 the budget was approved and we will start building the frame and stick system this coming week.   The budget was reworked a bit since last blog post, so here is the updated version:  The uncertainty factor was added since the […]

  • Haptix – Week 38

    Virtual meeting through Microsoft Teams on Thursday at 10:40. The meeting lasted over an hour. Out from the meeting it was decided that the electro students should continue working on developing the glove, begin to finalize which components to use and design the necessary circuits. The computer students decided to continue working independently with their […]

  • Project Fetch (12.09-19.09) Week 4

    Hardware This week was mostly spent waiting for the raspberry pi to finish various tasks such as installing dependencies and building software. We were not able to do much progress on the programming because when the pi is working we cannot do anything else on it. And the building process usually takes hours. The long […]

  • Shallow Blue Week 37

    During this week the computer students continued working on the detection of the pieces and doing research on how to use OpenCV. The electrical students have been working on designing the system and started looking at the motor system the chessboard needs. Helge Sondre Ulberg: This week i worked on the pointcloud for the detection […]
