Wednesday's Meeting & New Blog Features

(1) - Wednesday's Meeting

Members at the Micromouse meeting on Wednesday worked on the following items:

• Software - (Matt Paige, Anderson Puckett, Sam Carey)
• Discussed the details of different methods for the discovery of nodes in the maze.
• Worked on the implementation of one of the search methods. This method will be able to detect open spaces and blocked spaces by sensing the walls of the maze.
• Researched various libraries to allow the Arduino to handle multi-threaded type applications
• Found libraries which may be of use.
• Brief talk about the Arduino interface.
• Using the initial ideas of the maze discovery software, discussed how the integration of the sensor software modules and the maze solving algorithm block.
• Hardware - 
• Nothing completed in this area.

(2) - New Blog Features

I took some time this past week to make the blog site more useful to the team by adding more utility. The site now features a Calendar and Contacts tab where relevant information may be found.



Calendar - This tab of course contains an embedded Google Calendar of coming up events of our team. Please add this to your calendar if at all possible. If you have a Google Calendar, you can do this by clicking on the  button on the bottom right of the calendar.

Contacts - This tab contains an embedded version of our member schedule spreadsheet. I have only allowed the email addresses to be seen through this view so that not just anybody can start calling your cellphone. If anyone has a problem with privacy in me adding this feature, please let me know and I can either remove it or come up with some other way to present contact information.

If anyone would like to let me know of anything else I could add to the blog site in order to increase its functionality and use, I would appreciate it.

I will most likely post again on Sunday before Monday's meeting.
