Creative Programming Assignment 2009 (Q2)

• Please read AssignmentDescription.

• Before the first lecture, try to install Processing on your laptop.

• Always bring with you your laptop (and later in the assignment also the AdMoVeo robot), with fully charged batteries and power cables.

• Later in the assignment you will also have to install the Arduino software and prepare the AdMoVeo robot for the assignment.

Schedule

Please note that the assignment starts on Wednesday, November 4, 08:45 – 10:30 hrs. The location for this first week will be in Kennispoort, Grote Zaal, first floor.

The weeks thereafter the assignment is scheduled on Wednesdays as well, same time 08:45 – 10:30 hrs, but location will be AUD.1.

Two teachers will be available (only) on Fridays from time to time at place for hands-on help and to answer your questions.

Deliverables

• Every week you will be given some tasks as individual homework. One of these tasks is obligatory and the result of this task must be delivered.

  • Deadline: 5 PM, Monday.

  • Zip the results(sketchbook, data files, images etc) into one single zip file, name it as follows:

    week<weeknumber of assignment>_<IDNR>.zip

    For example:

    week3_0732290.zip

    Using this naming scheme is important, or your submission will be ignored.. Also see Windows Help for how to zip and unzip files in Windows. If you don't know your IDNR, check it out in the regristration list.

  • Upload the zip file to

    • Studyweb (follow this link: https://dlwpswbsp.tue.nl/ID2009/b14b594b3db344d8b6f374dc16368aca/Deliverables)

  • You are allowed to work together. But clearly mention the student number of the ones you have worked with in the head of your source code as a comment.

• You are challenged to deliver a demonstration with the robot (if you prefer, and with visuals) to show what you have learned from the assignment, to show your capability of reading and understanding the documentations, and to show your creativity. (You'd better start earlier during the assignment, so that you can see it evolving, and get the help from other students, possibly as well as the student assistants):
  • No lectures will be given specially for the robot. You are challenged to read and understand the documentations. These documents are available on the assignment wiki.

  • If you manage to deliver such a demo, AdMoVeo must be used.

  • Examples of things (these are just examples!) you can do with AdMoVeo:

    • Let AdMoVeo dance with your hand.

    • Let AdMoVeo dance with music.

    • Let AdMoVeo follow a line.

    • Use AdMoVeo LEDs as disco lights

    • Let AdMoVeo follow a light.

    • Let AdMoVeo read a map and plot the map on the screen

    • … anything else not in this list. Check out AdMoVeo video clips on YouTube for inspiration.

  • What you are expected to deliver:

    • A link to a YouTube video that shows the behavior of the robot. The video must be titled as CreaPro 2009 AdMoVeo: <your title> by <your name> and <your name>. In the description you should briefly explain your creation.

    • The source code
  • When you are expected to deliver: one day before the exhibition.

  • Six demos will be selected for the “wall of fame” of the assignment. The videos of these demos will be permanently shown on the assignment wiki, and on AdMoVeo.nl

  • You may show your demo as part of your exhibition, but you don’t have to. It is up to you.
