Candlelight Computers

Ideas from an average guy

In a society run by money we're creating a culture of waste and pollution. We need to step back and then step carefully to do what is best for the future of humanity. We need to work together, and create a transparent world run by the truth of raw data. Follow us if you care about “right to repair” or mfg sustainability; the art of repairing and upgrading rather than trashing. This is a blog about how we can work with our world with a focus on programming , robotics, materials and sustainability. 

Senior Project

This is a project I worked on with some brilliant hardware guys. I wrote the software in C++ to allow the bot to understand white lines and obstacles, internally mapping the memory, and using the map to navigate the field. In order to do this I made use of the Point Cloud Libraries, interfaced with Galil controller using python, and had lots of group meetings with the hardware team to understand and control our robot. The poster I made at the time mostly speaks for itself.
