YOLO Model for tracking

Tracking System

What I Did

• Tracking.py created

  • used opencv to help me track
  • created simple tracking system for a ball
  • works for any ball
  • uses camera real time

• Split main.py into two files

  • video.py
  • image.py

• added video for data

Need to improve

• work on color detection
• switch to hsv

Setup project

This is my first devlog of this project.

What I did today:

• learned how to get images and show them (example in picture)
• learned about venv and downloaded a bunch of libraries
• still working on learning opencv-python for processing

Need to work on later

• Add video processing
• Add analysis of basketball

Created API System

• Added files for handling API and added JSON!!

• It took me hours to create a system to handle API because I was having so many errors in my program, for example, sometimes a reference was skipped, but now they are all in the correct way and the program works.

Im new to json with python, so please comment how to format my code!

Final touches

• Updated python files so that they point to the example files
• Created example data
• created logo (AI)

SHIP WILL BE COMING SOON

Created Python programs

Excel formatter

Formats pdf into excel.

I used fitz to open pdf and read it. This program runs through each span in the pdf, basically each part of the line that has the same font settings. Since the refernces of the verses are bolded, and the actual verse is not bolded, according to that I ordered each row in an excel file that has a reference with its own verse.

Length Formatter

This file formats the verses by character length. This file was made by AI. This file iterates through the rows and orders them from least to greatest.

Files

This program contained the function for opening files. Nothing much to it.

LCD Working

LCD Problem

• LCD was not turning on
• Arduino on light was dimming off when connected to power

Fixing Issue

• Unplugged wires LCD module wires from arduino and breadboard

• Found out that I switched VDD and VSS pins (5V and GND)

• I tried to put the module back, but when connected to power module heated up

• Put the module in the write position

• added resistor for Anode

Text

• Learned about lcd.setCursor()

• Learned about how cursor and clear works

• learned about character, row and column

• Made text sync with the light, so when says 3, red light, 2 yellow light, one yellow light, go green light

Need to improve

• Put a real timer??
• Put button on breadboard

Made code more organized

Animations

Javascript

• Uploaded the animations
• Using Processing.js

Need to convert to p5.js

LCD Setup

LCD

• Created the wiring for the module
• Might have messed something up
• Overall, wiring was messy but it kinda worked

Code

• Made variables for each I/O pins
• Added LCD to the setup part
• Lights still work

Handling Errors for Input

Today I created options if the user typed in wrong data, they could change it. I also created options if the user typed in something that was not supposed to be typed, an error message would appear.

Program running

• Now the program runs forever until you type exit
• The program always clears the terminal when a new question comes and prints “NASA-Missions” at the top
• I made the program run forever by using while loop

Error Handling

• When users types in an option not in the options, the program shows an error message
• If the user types in data, the program asks the user for confirmation. If the user says no, the user can change the data.

Learned

• Learned about While loops
• learned about how continue and break work
• also learned the .lower() method

Took a very long time, and used a lot of if/elif/else statement. You can see in the picture just a glimpse of the hundreds of if/else.

Created option for Moon

Now you can choose between a planet and a moon. The program asks the user input for these things:

• moon name
• mission name
• gravity
• extra info

Then this is stored into a dictionary. Then this puts the data into an excel spreadsheet.

Improvements

I still need to ask the user for the distance of the planet/moon from earth. Then I can calculate the fuel needed to get there.

Maybe use SQL for data?

The user of dictionaries helped a lot in this program. Now I fully understand how it works.

Min/Max function

Made a new function that finds the minimum and maximum of the data.

How it works

1. The program asks the user to type 0 or 1 for min/max
2. The program uses a for loop and goes through each row finding the maximum and minimum or what the user chose.
3. In each cell in the sheet, the program checks if that cell is less/greater than the current min/max using the min()/max() function.
4. The function then returns a tuple of the price of the product that was the min/max and the name of that product.
5. The result is printed using a formatted string.

Debugging

While creating the function, there was some errors with the if statement.

• The if statement checks if the user typed 0 or 1, but the user input was not converted into an int. So the min max function was skipped.

• The function started to return the minimum price but the name of that product was different.

• The fix was simple - there was an if statement that checked if the min/max was the current cell but the part where it assigns the product_name was not indented, so it was out of this if statement

• Had a few errors with unpacking, but the changes were made to fix it

Day 1 of Race Countdown Game

This is my first hardware project

LEDs

• LED starts as a countdown, so each light represents a number counting down from 3
• Example: red represents 3, yellow, represents 2…

Connected the LEDs to the breadboard and used 220 ohm resistors. Then I connected the breadboard jumper wires to the I/O pins.

The Ultrasonic

My idea is that a person will start the game and there will be a countdown. This game will be a reaction game. The person will put their car behind the ultrasonic sensor.
If the person launches the car after the green, they win, but if they do it to early, they lose.

Display Module

• Shows 3, 2, 1
• Shows you lost or won
• the shows your reaction time

Need to create more code to use display and sensor

Finished the README file

Created a new project and allowed user to create a new mission and set some key values for the mission.

Now users can type in letters that represent each column instead of typing numbers

Edit README

A class for functions
