Here’s just a quick compilation of our bot excelling at some of the game’s hardest solos.

Programming continued today. In fact, we are essentially rewriting the code to better take advantage of the propeller chip’s many IO pins. In addition to that, we installed an LED above the rocker switch to indicate when autonomous mode is activated, and installed a hex switch (0-15), that will allow use to change delay times [...]

As we prepare for our final circuit boards to arrive, we have been fine tuning our programming. Today involved trying to learn assembly language, a programming form that allows for faster execution of code, but is signifigantly more difficult to write correctly. Some aspects of our project execute a bit too slowly, and we believe [...]

Work on the guitar has been continuing at a steady rate. What has been going on: We’ve installed the d-sub connection into the side of the guitar We’ve installed a switch above the whammy bar that will turn autonomous mode on or off We’re still working on trying to mold the buttons so we can [...]

Today we completed our first working bot prototype! It is by no means perfect yet, but it’s working pretty damn well, as you can see in the youtube video embedded below. In addition to getting that working today, we also made button molds so we can create our own transparent buttons that will house LEDs [...]
