GOALS

basic Interactive C codes. 1/15/09

2009-01-15T07:30:00.000-08:00

This is the first code i wrote in interactive C.

void main()

{
fd(1);
bk(2);
printf("hey");
sleep(3.0);
bk(1);
fd(2);
sleep(5.0);
fd(1);
bk(2);
printf("bye");
off(1);

}

This is the code i wrote to put on the Roomba.

`void main()
{
beep();
fd(1);
fd(2);
sleep(1.0);
fd(1);
bk(2);
sleep(0.5);
beep();
}

What did you learn?
some basics in programing Interactive C.

What did you set out to do?
at first i wanted to program using python, then i switched to interactive c. Then i was going to write some codes and put them on blocks and run the codes i made. I decided i wanted to write codes for the roomba.

What was your problem and goal?
my problem was i count get the code i wrote onto the roomba.
my goal was to run codes i wrote on the roomba.

What did you actually do?
i ended up writing some codes but i dint succeed in my goal i had a set back, i coulnt get my code onto the roomba, because firmware wouldn't download. so i tried a bunch of different things to get firmware to download so i could get my program onto the roomba but i never figured it out.

what would you do differently?
i would try harder to figure out a solution to my problem, or change projects after i realized i count figure out the problem.

What would you do next?
next, i would hopefully have a break through and figure out my problem so i could write more codes and figure out more to do with the roomba.

list of things i have to do when i get back from vacation:
-put a code on the roomba
-write a code
-change/fix the code i wrote

today i looked at codes for the roomba and i am starting to learn how to write them. next class i plan to write my own code and test it.

"the big picture"

2008-12-15T05:24:00.000-08:00

my overall goal is to create a program in Interactive C and program a programming block. with it.
the first step in doing this is to learn the language and make a few sample projects.
second i have to put a programming block together with 2 motors. my set back is i cant find 2 motors. after i complete this part of my project i have to test the program, and make small changes to make it work right. at some point i would like to program for the Roomba.

2008-12-11T09:03:00.000-08:00

today, i need to put one my the programs Ive all ready written on to a programming brick with two motors since my programss use 2 motors, and two wheels, a wheel for each motor. i need to test my code and see what i can change or fix to make it better.

2008-12-05T07:06:00.000-08:00

what did i accomplish this week?
This week i started using interactive C. I learned a few basic commands such as forward, backwards, sleep and off. I also learned how to start the code. I made a couple sample codes but i haven't put them on a programming brick yet.

what do i need for next time?
Next time i will need a programing brick with 2 motors to out my code on and test. After i test my codes, i will need to fix or change them. i also need to put the codes i wrote up online.

Today 12/2

2008-12-02T09:29:00.000-08:00

Today i created a sample program in interactive C.

void main()

{
fd(1);
bk(2);
printf("heyy\n");
sleep(3.0);
bk(1);
fd(2);
sleep(5.0);
fd(1);
bk(2);
printf("bye\n");
off(1);

}

This week 12/1-12/5

2008-12-01T05:49:00.000-08:00

This week my goal is to learn interactive C. Today i want to start to find sources were i can learn the language, and possibly start learning it. For the rest of the week i want to learn basic parts of interactive C. Hopefully by the end of the week i will know the basics of Interactive C.

Plans for programming

What is the overall goal? One sentence should sum it up.
Describe the goal in greater detail. This should be a paragraph.
What are the deadlines? A list with descriptions is fine.
What skills, techniques, materials and tools do you currently have that will be useful on the project? A bulleted list with descriptions should work.
What skills, techniques, materials and tools do you need or will be useful on the project? A bulleted list with descriptions should work.
How will you be able to show the progress of your project?
How will you be able to know if you have met your goal? A paragraph would be good.
How can we show your work when it is done?

OVER ALL GOAL
My overall goal is to learn python so I could use it to program games and devices also to identify possibility and projects that could be done in python. I would like to create something using python, I'm not sure what i want to do yet, i will decide once Ive learned the language and done a few sample projects.

DEADLINES
Friday -online resources
Thanksgiving- overview
-syntax
-some sample programs
Christmas-to have learned python
-figure out what I want to do
-have at least half of the program written for my project
End Of Semester-done with project

SKILLS, TECHNIQUES, MATERIALS, & TOOLS (have/need)
-python book
-computer/Internet (python websites,& putting my project on the Internet)
-teacher help
-student around me

PROGRESS OF PROJECT
ill show my progress by putting my project up on the Internet as I complete it.

MEETING MY GOAL
I'll know ive met my goals if the parts of my projects have been completed my the deadlines.
Friday I should have online resources. And Thanksgiving I should have an overview, syntax, and some sample programs. Christmas I should have learned python, figure out what I want to do for a project,and have it at least half done. At the end of the semester I should have my project complete. If I meet these deadlines, then my goal with have been met.

SHOWING MY WORK
-I can put my work up on the Internet so other people can see what ive done.
