Overview
Drake, Sean and Mr. Cutter set up and cleaned the drive carpet and set up information for path-planned and then tested and debugged/fixed the path-planning code.
Chloe redid the ML subsystem to work with our new subsystem structure.
Major vision improvements
We were out of our workshop for a week due to snow. But with e-learning, I was able to use that time and made a lot of improvements to vision:
No more libcamera!! (mostly)
We’re now using nokhwa, a Rust camera library, instead of libcamera bindings. nokhwa exposes a much nicer API and should allow for development on Windows and Mac (with some exceptions). I’m currently working to upstream some fixes and a libcamera backend for nokhwa, which is unfortunately required to support newer Pi camera modules. The upcoming 0.11 release introduces multi-camera and async support, which will be very skibidi.
AD: Pasted is a free, privacy respecting frontend for Pastebin. It uses no JavaScript and is as simple as possible while supporting as many features as possible. Try it now!
No more Actix!
I got rid of the Actix dependency.
It seems like it’s making async more of a pain, rather than easier to understand.
The Subsystem trait is now much simpler, using pure Tokio.
Rerun!!!
I finally got Rerun set up. Rerun is a very fancy visualizer/logging system for computer vision, which should be useful for debugging; but it’s mostly just for looks right now. We’ll need somebody to learn how to use it well.
Thing of the day
