Finite State Machine

Last Thursday we had our first meeting with our tutor, Arjen den Hamer. First we studied the mars landscape. Then, during the meeting we built a Finite State Machine. Afterwards we extended the Finite State Machine so we have a clear overview of the software to be programmed. We defined the functions and its in- and outputs. Now, the basic functions can be programmed so we can include them in higher level programms.

Cliff Detection

The first tests are done with the marsrover using the sensors and actuators. Our first programm is 'cliff detection'. Using one light sensor we check if there is a cliff, if so reverse. The change of state is printed on the brick namely 'cliff' and 'drive'.

First program is running

The first communication between the mindstorm and a XP laptop is completed!

There is still a problem with communicating between a Vista laptop and the Mindstrom...
