10 hours till presentation

Posted by Ilia on Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Well needless to say I'm not getting any sleep tonight. Needed a little break, so i figured it was a good time for a blog post. Took me longer than I expected to get mplabs going on windows 7 64bit. Had to do a bit of "searching" to find the C30 compiler, and then I had to figure out how to install the 64 bit emulator drivers. So now we're good to go. I'm playing around with alternative mounting solutions for the ir rangefinders. I want them to be at a greater angle to the wall because slight rotation of the robot changes the readings drastically. This means rewriting a lot of the wall following algorithm. Time to get more coffee.
