Progress:
- Learned some more terminology for the ar-drone module of node.js
- Downloaded OpenCV on Mac computers successfully
- We were able to write complete programs using node.js and run them, so that the drone could do a sequence of actions simply by running the script.
- Got further in the install process of opencv after realizing opencv 3.0 wasn’t going to work out
Problems:
- The opencv module is proving difficult to download, much less integrate into a program with the ar-drone module
- Downloading opencv 3.0 was impossible, coming across errors before the install even started. Once downloading opencv 2.4.1, the install seemed to be going well until the end where Owen came across some warnings, and Theo came across errors.
- Still unaware how to fix the drifting problem of the drone, but we plan to look further into that as the programming is developed a little more.
Plans:
- Check if Linux computer already has the opencv module installed — if so, try writing a program (as described in previous report) with it.
- Hopefully fixing the opencv problems on the mac laptops, and if that is fixed we will integrate it with node.js on OSX instead of Linux.
- Start to learn and write programs using both opencv and node.js
- Unsure of which platform this will ultimately take place on, Linux or OSX
- Once we become experienced with the basic examples of opencv we can start to move towards the more complex programs that will allow autonomous flight.
