12/22

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

programming the roomba

here is a link were Ive found codes for programming the roomba, http://i-borg.engr.ou.edu/~dmiller/create/

create library code

12/16

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"

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.

12/11

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.

daily writing 12/5

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

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

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

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.
