Adding Videos and Pictures to the Site

It’s great that everyone has been taking pictures and video. All that we need now is to have them inserted into the site. Read below to find out how.

Pictures:

Have your pictures saved on your computer. Create a new post and write about what your first picture is of. Above the text box, there are media buttons. Scroll the mouse over these and you’ll discover what they’re for. Just click on these, and after you’ve followed the steps, you will have the pictures inserted into the post.

Videos:

Upload your video to YouTube, then copy the HTML code on the youtube page. Click the box that says HTML (In the right hand corner when you create a post) and copy the code into the page wherever you would like it.

Thanks for taking pictures and videos and keep up the good work!

Engineering Notebook Submissions

Please hand in your submissions for the engineering notebook by the end of the month. An e-mail was sent out, but if you have any questions, ask Zoe Marshall.

Update - April 5

Today we accomplished various things.

First, we have successfully connected one of the cars to Labview. The program, while being only a simple driving program, will be useful in our future exploration of Labview. We will continue to power one car with the Arduino controller and one car with Labview so we can look at the efficiency of each of the methods.

We are still attempting to connect an EeePC to the Arduino controller.

One last goal is to start connecting the CMUcam to the Arduino controller, as the BASIC Stamp doesn’t have large enough processing capability.

Please note that we are meeting on Saturday at 9:00 AM in the PVIT room in lieu of our usual Sunday Meeting.

Have a happy Spring Break!
