 Purchasing Issues

 Jason Boyd is the “class

administrator” contact

 He says it is easier if we send

him forms via email

 Send request to advising

professor

 Professor forwards request to

him if they approve

 He does the purchasing—

apparently “reimbursement” doesn’t happen anymore

 This may delay the purchases of

we currently have…he said he would get back to me.

 Need to purchase a Wii Sensor

Bar for testing.

 No response from either

company about sponsorship request.

Payload Testing Status Tasks for this week

 Wii Remote Research

 Infrared camera reports X

(horizontal) and Y (vertical) locations of the two groups of LED’s on the sensor bar.

 Both dimensions have 10 bit

resolution

 This allows for roll calculation  Should allow for distance

calculation from distance between known two points

 Unsure of values for when the

remote is directly centered and level with sensor bar (origin values)

 Other data can be sent, such as

an estimated size and a bounding rectangle around each group of LED’s

 School has no sensor bars!
