Changes

To avoid collisions in our work the project has been moved from the Protocol module to the System module. This new module has the correct directory structure. It has Gary's Makefile. And it now has my new function scripts/startfunction. See the updated CvsInstructions link above to use it.

In each of the "Current Documentation" links at the top of this page where there is a drawing, I have now linked in the source file. So if you need to make updates you can download the copy I have.

Several functions have been reassigned. This is in hopes of getting them completed.

Action Items before next week

• Finish cn_data() -- Jeff
• Fix Packet Definition drawing so every transition has one condition -- Jeff
• Write cn_address(), cn_time(), cn_length() -- Jeff
• Write cn_error() -- Sean
• Recruit John (of PHS) and possibly his laptop -- Ray - not done
• Review C -- Peter - not done
• Fix script to copy template to new function name. -- Allen - done

Schedule

I included this comment two weeks ago and didn't get any response. Are you guys reading these notes? I suspect not. 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?

• Nov 12 - location: John's house
  • Assemble the functions into a simple test program.
  • Map the high level simulation code structure.
  • Assign the next level of coding.
  • Code Review/Workshop.
• Nov 19 - location: John's house
  • Code Review/Workshop.
• Nov 26 - location: John's house
  • Code Review/Workshop.
