1. Meat and Potatoes Micromouse Spring 2006

2. Introduction (Top-Down, Left-Right) –Alex DeAngelis –Mike Manzano –Aaron Fujimoto –Alex Zamora –Tyson Seto-Mook

3. Brief Overview Wall Hugging Mouse –Top-down Sensors Adjustable Sensor Array Maximum 12 Sensors –Step Motors –Nickel-metal hydride Batteries –Aluminum Chassis (If Possible) Upgrade to Center-Seeking Mouse

4. Pictures of Progress

5. What’s Completed Feb. 28 Mounted rabbit socket above sensor circuit. Began on sensor array. Feb. 25 Built the sensor circuit. Feb. 24 Began on circuit layout for the sensor circuit. Feb. 22 Analyzed that the motor-driver wasn't properly working due to three burnt mosfets. Feb. 20 Tested and began debugging of motor-driver circuit. Feb. 19 Built motor-driver circuit. Feb. 18 Went to IC supplies in order to obtain connectors for motor-driver circuit. Built chassis for out mouse.

6. Block Diagram Completed Mouse Sensor Array Algorithms / Code Sensor Circuitry Chassis / Body

7. Sensor Array Adjustability –Vertical adjustments of ±0.5cm –Horizontal Adjustment (if possible) Still in progress/planning Separate connectors –Non-soldered sensor connections Circuitry NOT located on the array –Leaves a ‘light’ array

8. Sensor Array FRFMRFMLFL CR1RCR2CRMCLMCL2LCL1 Sensors are labeled in terms which will be used in the coding. CRx = Check Right X; R = Right; CRM = Check Right Middle CLx = Check Left X; L = Left; CRL = Check Left Middle FR = Front Right; FMR = Front Mid. Right, FML = Front Mid. Left; FL = Front Left......

9. Incomplete Tasks Algorithms Coding Mounting of the Sensor Array Combining all the separate pieces Debugging… Really Debugging… Extreme Debugging…

10. Future Thoughts Problems/Outstanding Issues –The ‘completed’ sensor circuitry may malfunction Soldering Burnt Chips Broken Mosfets, etc. –Programming Errors –Communication and Teamwork Problems –Not completely visualizing the problem(s) that may occur
