First Progress Report.

The main problem we are facing is interfacing with the FPGA in general, because it's the 1st step in communicating with the robot.

And more specifically,

1. reading or writing into it through lab view.
2. How to use different types of communications (serial, USB, wirles in future). Ethernet we already Know
3. We would like to know how to use the non-volatile memory as well, and whether we can increase its size or not. This will help us saving he program on the robot memory instead of wasting time in downloading it each time we start up the robot.

As we agreed in our last meeting, we have 3 possible solutions.

1. Getting help from NI forum (I already recieved from NI to access the forum)
2. Contact our COE friends (Done)
3. Getting some help from specialized people within the department (e.g. Mr.Aminuddin )

That's all for meanwhile. And we will arange a meeting with Mr. Aminuddin to help us on that.
