Group weekly reports
Ilir Bylykbashi
Summary:
The past week has been exceptionally busy for me due to a flurry of activities tied to my bachelor’s project. I’ve been deeply engaged in meetings with my bachelor’s group and various companies to deliberate the project’s intricacies.
During this period, I dedicated my efforts to delving into the Radio library, comprehending its capabilities, and rectifying the errors in our code, which had been the central focus of my work. I successfully enhanced the code’s readability and reduced the potential for errors.
Anticipating the need for different IR-transmitters and receivers in our project, we’ve taken measures to streamline their integration once we obtain the components and can connect them correctly to our breadboard.
In addition to these technical pursuits, we’re committing resources to the development of the algorithm vital for our project. Nevertheless, we are cautious, ensuring that all other project components are firmly established before we immerse ourselves completely in refining this aspect. A particularly time-consuming task we’re earmarking for the upcoming week is mapping and enabling the robot to “remember” its path.
We’re also planning to experiment with a Bluetooth connection to the micro:bit for testing purposes. This experiment will help us determine the feasibility of controlling the robot with a controller, simplifying our testing procedures.
Challenges:
Finding the necessary sources and tools that can be used in order to make the connection easier for bluetooth access.

Summary:
Not the most productive week on my end, but I am working on the two different main modes for our project. One manual and one auto mode.
The idea is to enable the user to either press a button on the Microbit on the mouse or to receive a signal via radio to switch mode. When in auto it will drive autonomously, map and traverse by itself. When in manual it will stop and the user is able to control the mouse based on the accelerometer on the handheld Microbit. I’ve not yet found a simple way of getting readings from the accelerometer. I also wanted to have the display on the controlling Microbit to display which mode it’s currently in, “M” for manual and “A” for auto.
