About USB

Hey, on friday Carlos and I went to the lab to try to fix the HD and USB problem. We catched that the Pioneer do detect the USB port, and looks that the drivers were installed too, but we didn't count with enough time to fix that. About the HD, we tried to check the second robot with some HD to see what was the problem but the time 'ate' us, so we couldn't even check it.

I've done some work on assembla to have tickets for all our tasks.

The bill of the cable is being processed.

Administrative tasks take a lot of time and are not fun at all!!!!!!! :(

HD tests and other issues

Today Carlos G., Arturo and I went to the lab in order to make several tests. First, we could get the three power sources we talked about on Monday. We tested Pio with the three of them and saw it wasn't turning on so we began testing the continuity and voltage of some of the circuits which were quite confusing so we didn't get to any specific conclusion. We will post the observations made with more detail later on and will continue working on this issue tomorrow.

Since we had to dissasembles Pio, we saw the opportunity to remove it's HD and use it to test Nero's HD port. With the adapter Arturo brought we could see that this HD was actually turning on, however, it seems that Nero couldn't identify this HD's operating system since we got a warning about the Grub when turning it on.

We will be posting later in order to give more details about this two problems we have been having and the possible solutions we come up with. Hope any of you can give us advice.

Meanwhile, Carlos G. downloaded a C++ tutorial and shared it with Arturo and me.

See you all soon
Regards!
