On Friday, 1st February, three days before the Training Week started, we arrived in Munich since we wanted to explore the city and Tom, our Teamleader, invited us to stay at his house for a few days. We visited the Flugwerft Oberschleissheim and some Nightlife-Locations before we had to journey on to Steinebach where we stayed during the Training Week.
Right now our Student Experiment Documentation version 1 was finished and uploaded. If you’re interested in our project you can download the SED by visiting our Download Section!
Sven and Florian are working on some basic functions like saving and preprocessing frames with the FPGA-based Development Board “SPARTAN-6″. They’re also making some first attempts towards edge-detection with frames provided by the camera.
Right after everybody finished celebrating New Year’s Eve our whole team got together to get some of the work done we had to do for the Student Experiment Documentation. Well, almost the whole team.
Unfortunately Florian, our electrical engineer, wasn’t able to participate personally, so a MacBook had to take up his place…
The first components for our Power Distribution Unit arrived a few Days ago.
Florian Wolz, our electrical engineer, is running some basic tests to provide a stable power source with a voltage between 1.5 and 24 Volt for the other electrical components.
After the invitation to the selection workshop we worked hard to compose a great presentation to convince the selection board of our project. The movie sequence Arthur created was fully rendered just some hours before departure. The weather conditions in Würzburg forced Jochen to hitchhike to the railway station to reach the train to Bonn in time.
