10/28/13 Update

The first thing we talked about was the SysCtlDelay function and how it works. The integer value does not seem to correlate to a linear frequency value. See excel sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au46Wb6HXkEEdEN2TXU1NU9HUDVTNk10aDBMUHRab2c&usp=sharing

Below are some things I researched:

Maybe try using com_sysctrldelay() instead, see if this is more accurate.

The next thing we did was talk about our next steps for programming.
--making the motor go a set path
--possibly have the mouse consider the maze made up of squares
--brief discussion of mapping/remembering the maze

The basic motor functions file finished Wednesday
--Here it is in the drive:

--Under Micromouse > Software > CCS Header Files, I added the headers that I used. But if you download the examples from TI, you should already have these headers (and many more) on your computer.

Finally, the chassis was picked up Tuesday. I'll be buying supplies for the prototype thanks to the help of HKN. Hopefully we can construct some of it Monday.

Sorry it took me awhile to post this. I had a cold last week.
