[DEVLOG FOR V2 Alpha01]

[SOFTWARE]

• Added FPS count on camera display
• Added Target Lock indicator
• Started work on a mode state. It has SCANNING and TARGETING for now.

[ WILL BE WORKING ON THE MODE STATE AFTER MY EXAMS <3 ]
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VOTING!!

[ NEW STUFF ]

[ DESIGN ALPHA 0.0 ]

• Started designing the car in Fusion360
• Planned drew some rough designs
• Planned where the parts should go according to their connections

[ WILL SOON POST A DEVLOG WITH A ROUGH BUT COMPLETED DESIGN ]

(UPDATED)

ALSO CHECK LATEST VIDEO!!! :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U14o0E9ILg

[ SOFTWARE ]

• Rehauled the UI
• Made the UI Retro themed? If it looks like it 😭
• Made the window fixed

( UPDATED CODE ON GITHUB )

[HARDWARE]

• Stretched out the gun spring a little.
• Oiled up the gun gears

[SOFTWARE]

• Integrated the shooting manager with tracking manager. Now shoots when the target is idle
• Added more resolution to the STEP_SIZE / Distance from center. So its
• Changed the shoot manager so that it will only send 0/1 when the bool is changed

[ CURRENT ISSUES I AM HAVING ]

• The tracking is kinda lagging if u notice. I need to write better workflow for the arduino
• The gun is still unreliable, although its shooting, it sometimes shoots good and sometimes the bullet speed is just really slow

( NOT UPDATED IN GITHUB YET )

• Added a shooting manager ( It decides when to shoot, when to not, kinda inefficient tho )
• Made some changes to the shooting manager ( Made it shoot while the gun was moving, not a good fix tho )

[ WILL BE ADDING DETAILED DEVLOGS FROM NOW WITH EXACTLY WHAT I FIXED ]

[SOFTWARE]

• Made changes to Controller
• Made changes to HMI
• Made changes to Arduino Code

[HARDWARE]

• Made Longer Barrel for accuracy
• Changed Sizes in Barrels and changed driving gear in gun to D-Type

[ FUTURE ]

• Thinking of ditching this gun design as its taking too much motor load, might change to high RPM to Torque

[HARDWARE]
< Changes >

• Made the gun’s driving gear to a D-Type shaft input to fix slippage.
• Made the barrel longer to help with accuracy.
• Fixed the push rod diameter to match with the newer barrel.

[SOFTWARE]

< New stuff >
Added a shooter controller in the controller code.

< Fixed Bugs >

• Changed default dead-zone size as the slider shows 30 but the actual value was 10.
• Cleaned up some of the code and changed some bad variable names

[HARDWARE]

( Soon to print and test )

• Extended barrel length and changed internal barrel diameter ( Now it looks like the german Schwerer Gustav 😭😭)
