The day began by making with the Switch and Router configuration. As Julio and Chasso are in different ranges of IP's, it was necessary to reconfigure the network in order to make the global tests, because Julio works as an Access Point on 192.168.1.1 and to work with all components at the same time, we needed another network on the 192.168.2.x, so that Maria console can comunicate with both networks (one with cable and another with wi-fi) and to maintain the necessary internet connection :)
For the first time we had everything to to a test with all the components we are going to use on the final presentation. On the Chasso robot adjustments were made to balance the weight when doing a lift. With the new battery, it was necessary to do tests to find de adequate place to put it, because we need the balance to be stable, even when Chasso rotates. Everything ran smoothly. This operation was successful.
Regarding the new battery, we were very happy. We were not sure about the battery life, but after 1:30 the battery remains above 80%. Another successful test (and another good ebay buy). Then came the big test, try to connect simultaneously Julio and Chasso to test whether the two could be ran together, specially the video update. After some hesitation, everything went well. One negative test point has what we were expecting, was the performance on UI update. We have not enough computational resources for the processing of two videos. The two images are captured, but the image processing is not done in an aceptable time. We have to improve this section by optimizing the code and try new ways of processing the video.
In relation to Maria, we are having some trouble (girls!). The driver used is not working as expected. We have to research more on how to optimize this also. In summary, today was very productive day, but solving some issues, brought us another. The fight continues...
