This week, we began by giving our lightning talk that we had prepared in the previous week. We talked about what controls code is and what our plans were for the upcoming Futran track controls.
After the talk, we created a small list of deliverables to complete by the next week. This included contacting Shane to schedule a meeting where we would discuss the problems that the previous controls team faced. We have contacted him and are scheduled to meet up on 9/13/2017. The second task we assigned ourselves is to research a universal positioning system that would work better than the "counting" technique that the 1/12th scale track is currently using. Our ideas included HID, RFID, or NFC. The next thing on our task list is to read the Superway code and begin to understand it. I have read through the code twice in order to get a better understanding of how the track works. There is still a lot to learn, but I am making progress. Our final task for next week is to test all six of the bogies and try to get them in working condition.
