User blog:Brandonlock1213/Spring 2011- Meeting 6 + 7 Summary

LED Matrix
Michael finished mounting and soldering LED's to the matrix prototype board that Tom started before spring break. Mike ran some initial test programs to control LED's on the trainer board (using the Oran

gutan LV-168 MCU). Next Step: Finish soldering resistors and begin testing.

Note: I posted some important guides in the LED Matrix Project page. We're aiming for something similar to the Peggy 2.0.

Autonomous Blimp
All sensors are mounted and good to go. The code has already been written and tested to determine which direction the blimp should fly in based on the beacon. It's pretty ugly though and will be modified soon.



Next Step:
 * Test envelope to see if still useable
 * Solder motor driver and connections to Baby Orangutan
