#soapbox
I’ve been wondering, what’s the internal time zone here? Our cadence is driven by “things happen when they happen” and “it’s always lunchtime” (inspired by Douglas Adams megadodo publications/Alice in wonderland mad tea party). It’s a generally slower and more relaxed time zone. People who drop in and expect a corporate time zone are either confused or impatient, because this kind of tempo would be unsustainable in a regular workplace driven by financial budgets. I’ve been wondering if there’s a way to ceremonialize and signal our time culture. / #
#yak rover project updates
Infinity and Beyond. Print battery, RPi holders. Bring up Rpi, try to write some RISCV assembly.
Stubborn. Started modifying commands to be time-based. Convert all the commands. I'd really love to start on some plans for an updated ground station. Brown outs can lead to a lot of confusion. But if you are monitoring the uptime of your rover and it suddenly resets that's a pretty good indication. There are methods of capturing the reason an Arduino resets, but it looks like it requires custom boot loaders and poking at registers.
Wonderful Wandering Growth. Break down camera, start stereo analysis, make camera multi-access using v4l2loopback. Some hybrid of stereo and SFM. Stereo seems more difficult than expected.
