The diversity team, Collective Spark, has officially completed our transformation of the bicycle area, now known as the Spoke House! Another space completed by this team = BIG WU!! Our main goal, as a team, is to revamp common spaces around the building. We started with Planet Express; them moved to the Bridge area, and now the Spoke House.

Sparkfun's Autonomous Vehicle Compeition 2010, here in Boulder.

Sparkfun had their autonomous vehicle competition on Wednesday, and I took an hour from work to check them out. I only got to see a few of the attempts, then took a tour of the company, and went back to work.

This is going to be a KAP control system. It's based on the transmitter module of a 2.4GHz R/C system from Hobbyking (HK-T6A) but replaces the main board with an Arduino. The user interface utilizes a thumb joystick with integral button for aiming and shooting. It also has a ring LED to indicate pan and tilt settings. Several shooting modes will be selectable via a rotary encoder in the center of the LED ring. And, finally, there will be a bluetooth module to permit setup via a smartphone.

 

Most of the components were sourced from Sparkfun.com
