Dead Reckoning GroupBi-weekly Report 4Lee FithianAjay JosephSteven ParkinsonSaba RizviAccomplishments• Assembled PCBo Attached PAK VII to PCBo Wired between socket bank and PAK VII• Accelerometero Rewired socket banko Tested for proper outputs• Parts Ordered/Purchasedo Ordered PAK VII to convert the PWM signal of the accelerometer to adigital output. Communicates with a serial output to the OOPic.o Bought a DC Power Adapter so that batteries would not be used duringprogramming.• Softwareo Coded turn algorithm using gyroscopeo Coded objects for sensorsß Encoderß Compass• Testingo Ran encoder tests to determine errorProblems / Solutions• Gyroscope turn algorithm• Encoder navigation algorithm drifting• Lack of Arcsin and Arccos functions in OOPic• PAK VII not working correctly. Output is always high. Company that the chipwas purchased from is being contacted so that a replacement can be obtained. Asa backup, the accelerometer has an analog mode and that output is currently goingto used until the PAK VII situation is settled.Goals• Integrate data• Accelerometer sensor getting readings and navigation algorithm• Create/do final demos• Begin documentation and
