All functions are being renamed to make them unique to system functions. Please prepend cn_ to your functions (and filenames) before the next meeting. The new names are reflected in the assignments below.

Coding Assignments

• void cn_commands(char *packetPayloadSrc) -- Sean
• char * cn_command(char *packetPayload) -- Asumu
• int cn_address(char *packetPayload) -- Jeff
• int cn_data(char *packetPayload) -- Jeff
• int cn_time(char *packetPayload) -- Jeff
• int cn_length(char *packetPayload) -- Jeff
• enum cn_charClassifier(char) -- Sean
• void cn_write(int src, addr, data) -- Asumu
• void cn_read(int src, addr) -- Asumu
• cn_configWr(int src, addr, data) -- Asumu
• cn_configRd(int src, addr) -- Asumu
• cn_error(int src, level, length, char *packetPayload) -- Sean
• cn_types.h -- Gary
• Makefile -- Gary
• linksys/cn_support.c -- Gary
• manifold/cn_support.c -- Gary
• frc/cn_support.c -- Gary
• desktop/cn_support.c -- Gary

Deferred functions:

• cn_dataIs()
• cn_configDataIs()
• cn_periodic()

Action Items from last week

• Rewrite cn_data() -- Jeff - in process
• Write cn_command() -- Asumu - in process
• Write cn_commands() -- Sean - done
• Write cn_read(), cn_configWr(), cn_configRd() -- Asumu - didn't ask???
• Review C -- Peter - no word

Changes

To avoid collisions with system function names, functions are all now prepended with "cn_".

We are adopting a new directory structure. Everyone read this page to see where your files go. DirectoryStructure20041022.html Gary, I went a little beyond what we discussed.

Action Items before next week

• Verify meeting location for next Fri. -- Allen - done
• Finish cn_data() -- Jeff, working with Allen on this
• Write cn_address(), cn_time(), cn_length() -- Jeff
• Finish cn_command() -- Asumu
• Write cn_error() -- Sean
• Move your functions to fit the new directory structure. -- Jeff, Asumu, Sean
• Recruit John (of PHS) and possibly his laptop -- Ray
• Review C -- Peter
• Write */cn_support.c and Makefile -- Gary
• Determine max FRC baud rate -- Ray - done! 115kbaud
• Write script to copy template to new function name. -- Allen

Schedule

Meetings have been moved to Fridays at 6:30PM. Meetings will be at John Sechrest's house for the forseeable future due to the need for internet connectivity. John and Martha may not be around, but I will be. And I notice that we are no longer colliding with Thanksgiving.

It would be good to start testing the communication link with the FRC. This is challenging because we don't have a standalone FRC and the existing robots are not easily move to our meetings. Any ideas?
