Robot build complete

Completed the robot today, added in all the servos and moving parts. Going to do begin testing systems when Alex gets back from Hawaii next week. Also began the written report.

Arduino BT no work.

Finished the arduino code today, but the computer app froze every time we started it and connected it to the Arduino BT. We determined that this was caused by setting the Baud rate on the serial port to 115200. Therefore we had to switch to the Arduino Diecimilia as it's required Baud rate is 9200, which, for some reason, does not cause the program to freeze up. Will need to look into this.

VB Code = DONE

Officialy DONE CODING THE VB APP!!!!!!!!!
All that's left is to write up the arduino code and to finish off the robot itself.
Will post codes soon for the public to enjoy. :)

Arduino BT - Serial Communications test

Today we tested the serial communications of the Arduino BT. I whipped up a quick program to simply turn a light on and off on the board. Initially, it didn't work because the serial port was set to the wrong frequency. I tested it and it now works on the new frequency. 

We also did some work on the design today as well. We have a pretty good idea on how the gearing system for the arm will work, as well as the setup for the steering and wheel base. Going to build a prototype soon.

Thats all!
