Blog #4:
Chris proposed a new outline for the class curriculum and we discussed what we liked and disliked.
Used Anna's feedback on our GitHub repo to edit and revise our files and README.md instructions.
The Brazilians came and we showed them the work we had done.
Got the camera talking to robot through serial port and published rgb values to a topic.
Discussed the final deliverables and final presentation for iRobot™ Education.
Provided more background info relating to python asyncio.
Did a hackathon with the Brazilians where we had them play with the Create® 3 robot using ROS 2.
Added progress print statements so when students run code from the command line, it will print what it is doing at that moment. This allows the student t0 understand what the code is doing without having to look at it. It omits extraneous info and only prints the important actions taking place.
Transferred the above files to the Jupyter Notebook.
Explained how to use Airtable to control the Create®3 Robot via teleop (found on GitHub)
Got Airtable working with the Create® 3 robot
Able to pull values from Airtable to change velocity of wheels
Added global namespace variables in each file so students could change only one line to run the code.
Worked on jousting files.
Worked with the dev robots and SSHing in.
Tried working with Jupyter Notebook and ran into debugging issues.
Got Courtney (another intern) up and working with ROS 2 on the robot.
ROS version of proportional controller file
Question for iRobot team: could we add a sticker to the robots (in production) that shows which wifi ID is theirs (i.e. Create-[XXX])?
