Weekly Report 6.13.06

This wednesday the rest of my parts (IR Sesnors / Perf Board / Photoelectric cells / Cables / Wires and Headers) came in. I finished writing the test version of my motor controller code. The an updated version will be completed once I mount the sensor suite.

The most difficult problem I'm running into at the moment is space. I have a relatively small chassis that I am trying to mount quite a few sesors on. I have spent a lot of time trying various mounting arrangements. It seems that I have found one that should allow me to put all of the sensors on with minimum interferance.

I also recieved the Arduino ATMega8 microcontroller board in the mail. This second controller will be used in the RF beacon. For the remainder of the week I am going to finish getting my motor controller functioning and work on mounting my IR sensors.
