READ THIS POST CAREFULLY. IMPORTANT!
Ok, I have a proposal.
Before we start finalizing the chassis design, we need to know what the chassis will be holding. Its like building a foundation without knowing if the building is a high-rise or a storeroom!
Plus we will also know the power requirment and the total weight of payload.
===========================================
So our next task is
SENSORS:
1. Find the
properties for each sensor type. Main points like
Input method and
Output method. (see example at end)
2. Find
various alternatives or
vendor specific devices.
3.
Datasheet for each sensor or specifications from website.
4. Lastly, why you think we should use the specified sensor (optional).
===EXAMPLE===
1. Video Camera: "Various properties..." then Input:
HW:USB,
SW:<instructions>. Output:
HW: USB,
SW: ideodata, <instructions>
2. There are many cameras so we can see the cheapest and most flexible one, like with more range of operating resolution 300x600 to 1270x700). (This is just an example).
3. Find datasheet or if not then specifications from product website.
4. "This perticular model has ... this ... and thats why we should use it...blah blah".
===END EXAMPLE===
So tell me who wants to take which sensors. If there is an overlap we will look at that and deside by tommorow.
The research must finish within a week.
The final report will be after that.
