  4. Goals Design, implement and document a common MVWT infrastructure that supports 2004 SURF projects Expand the MVWT facility to include rooftop operation Objectives Common software architecture that supports code reuse between hetero-geneous MVWT vehicles Command and control infrastructure for controlling vehicles, logging data, visualizing system state; compatible with RoboFlag software 12 vehicle capability in 12 Steele, with robust vision-based positioning 24 vehicle capability on Steele roof, with 1 cm accurate positioning Technical Challenges Dropped packets in vision system, with little documentation of current configuration Heterogeneous platforms with custo-mized, legacy software solutions No identified solution for rooftop positioning system No dedicated MVWT II team Approach Team-oriented organization to work on common infrastructure needs Use CS/EE/ME 75 project mgmt toolset Early identification of common architecture, so that tools will fit together Midterm design review and AFOSR demonstration to drive timeline 1:45-1:50 Updated: 13 Jun 04 MVWT II GOTChA Chart (DRAFT) Richard Murray, Caltech

  8. 2:15-2:20 Multidisciplinary Systems Engineering Status Chart Project/Team Meetings GOTChA Chart Status Chart Bugzilla task list Timeline Chart Design Specification Design reviews Wiki documentation Tests/Demos Technical Work Richard Murray, Caltech

  9. Getting started in Bugzilla Go to http://grandchallenge.caltech.edu/bugzilla/index.cgi; click on “Create new account” Team coordinator will assign a task, at which point you can make use of the system Bugzilla features Ability to track tasks by project, component, priority, criticality, platform, etc Ability to assign tasks to individuals and inform via e-mail Ability to track changes in tasks, including notes and status Ability to search tasks (open and closed), list dependencies, send e-mail alerts, etc 2:20-2:25 Task Lists: Bugzilla Richard Murray, Caltech

  10. Getting started in Wiki Go to http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~murray/wiki; click on “Create new account” Enter your name in your team web area to make sure everything is working Wiki features Easy, in place editing of web pages using HTML or wiki formatting Search across content of all web pages on wiki Revision tracking; can back out changes if needed Ability to store binary files (pictures, ppt, etc) Cons Formatting is a bit limited (w/out HTML) 2:25-2:30 Documentation: Wiki Richard Murray, Caltech

  11. Subversion: Code Versioning System Allows multiple people to work on common set of source code Keeps track of revisions and allows changes to be logged, compared, backed out, merged Subversion layout (draft) $SVNHOME/MVWT hovercraft/ onboard/ offboard/ kelly/ RHEXlib/ RoboFlag/test/ vision/ Getting started in Subversion Get a CDS computer account Checkout test library and edit README Commit changes and resynchronize More information http://grandchallenge.caltech.edu/wiki Use “TeamCaltech” + ____________ Search for “Subversion” and follow directions (replacing sparrow with test) Action items Mike Yeh: get RoboFlag copied over and working this week RF SURFs: make sure you can check out, compile and run on your local machine 2:30-2:35 Source Code Tracking: Subversion Richard Murray, Caltech
