- Weekly updates
- Wireless
- Less interrupt-based
- Bytes are buffered
- Works - tokenize, sensor matrix
- ~/code/wireless/xfly_test
- Less interrupt-based
- XFly library
- Battery sensing (dragonfly)
- works
- battery() — returns V * 100, battery8() — [0...255]
- Data in xls spreadsheet — extremely linear
- RTC fixed
- see #defines for time units
- ORBs - fixed

- DIO
- works but library needs to be cleaned
- Battery sensing (dragonfly)
- Autonomous Recharging
- Everything here
- 5 boards fully built
- Kinks in software
- Measure {T,V, I}, Regulate {I}
- Termination conditions need to be fixed
- Homing
- Stays on robot for now
- Bom+Beacon works, but not with wireless
- Charging station wireless messed up.
- USB dongle
- Built, works
- New zigbees are weird — need to try maxstream programmer
- Colonet
- Using robot relay instead of dongle
- Software delay required to send data packets to firefly+, maybe not dragonfly
- Wireless library tokenizes with firefly+, not yet with dragonfly
- Server basically works - relays packets to robots
- Things to work on
- Making wireless library more robust
- Incorporating colonet into new robot wireless library
- Client application - mouse control?
- Server debugging
- Fleet
- 12 bases
- 4 complete robots [zigbee, sharp, bom]
- 2 have beacons
- 1 has Sharps only
- Duncan cleaned the cubbies — yay
