Subgoals for @TheProjectsGuy

[TheProjectsGuy]

Task priority: HIGH

Task description

The interim submission deadline is approaching and you need to finish the tasks under Must Haves. It is also suggested that you finish the tasks under Extras. This issue spawns from #15

Person assigned: Task assigned to @TheProjectsGuy

Deadline: Thursday, 21^st March 2019

Must Haves

Before getting started

Here are the things that you have to do:

• [x] Review and test everything that you've on the dev branch, do the following:
  • [x] Individual tests.
  • [x] Move everything that's working into appropriate folders and everything that's not working into the Project-SIGHT/test/contrib/avneesh_tests_v1/ folder.
  • [x] Documentation work
  • [x] Merge into master with a pull request.
• [x] Create a branch avneesh-dev-1 for the development process (from the dev branch). Everything happens in the test folder. Actual process starts from hereon... :warning: Everything handled in folder avneesh_test_files on branch avneesh-test-pahse1 :warning:

Algorithm

• [x] Develop code to read analog readings from the flex sensor
  • Make code as generic as possible, because of ADCs having different precision
  • Can be on Arduino as well
• [ ] Using OpenCV, make an algorithm to find angles
  • You'll use it for joint angles
  • [x] CAD for LED circuitry
  • [ ] Procure a webcam
• [ ] Python script to collect training examples
  • Synchronous multithreading: for the CV and ADC readings over serial
• [ ] Collect training examples for the training, cross validation and test set
  • [ ] Create a dataset with joint angles as output and stress voltage as input
• [ ] Train algorithm
• [ ] Final test of the algorithm, without the CV verification part
  • Test for consistency and reliability
• [ ] Port the weights and model architecture into code for microcontroller(s)
  • Arduino and TI CCS (or Energia)

Flex Sensors

All this on breadboard

• [x] Final code to interface flex sensors to Arduino using analog mux
• [x] Final code to interface flex sensors to TI SimpleLink CC3220SF WiFi MCU
  • [x] TI SimpleLink CC3220SF WiFi MCU quick start. All codes in folder named test/ti_cc3220sf/.
    • [x] Digital I/O
    • [x] Timers, delays, etc.
    • [x] ADCs
    • [x] Serial communication
  • [x] Single Flex sensor (without the analog mux) code
  • [x] Multiple Flex sensor code (using the analog mux)
  • Everything should be visible on a terminal

All this on a veroboard (port from breadboard)

• [ ] Eagle board design
• [ ] Solder the board
  • [ ] Procure components
• [ ] Final test

Extras

Things that could be worked on after the must haves are finished.

• [ ] Python script to get values from terminal and display them onto a GUI like RViZ
  • This could be a good start to ROS API (but it's a long shot)
• [ ] Integration with various other frames
  • Native DH parameter API for first level developers

All CV based progress can be tracked under issue #22 or on branch avneesh-test-cv

Chose the following for development:

• Energia
• CCS
• dev.ti.com
