Review implementation of arduino LED #13

Closed arlevin closed 7 years ago

arlevin commented 7 years ago

The arduino led system is an important part of the Driver station, but it was implemented quickly both in HW and SW during last year's build season. It is worth taking some time to see if this implementation can be simplified so it is easier to maintain and improve as needed.

Ipsum commented 7 years ago

From what I understand, it was just hard to physically maintain such as when an LED burned out? Any problems interfacing with the robot/laptop?

arlevin commented 7 years ago

Could be; I honestly don't remember if there were SW issues or only HW issues or perhaps HW issues that arose because of our SW implementation. In any case, while reviewing the implementation, I'd like to fully train one or more of the other control team members on maintaining the arduino so it is completely out of Garrison's hands. This was probably unclear from my poor description.

I don't believe that there was any issues with maintaining it once it was complete. The only issues with burnt out LEDs was the few that were already burnt out when we installed it. For those, we did decide to just leave them in instead of replacing them because of the high difficulty of modifying the system, given the time constraints and priorities.
