This past week, our parts arrived, so I spent most of my time playing with the hardware and sensors, and designing a system that will connect all eight sensors into the Arduino optimally. I have been soldering wires to all of the sensors individually, and connecting them together with the microcontroller.

On the signal processing/software side, I have been sandboxing Arduino code to interface with the eight sensors we intend to us. I have also been exploring options for exporting our collected data from Arduino and sending it to python in real time, where it can be processed and analyzed (and quickly).

The hardware took a little longer to arrive than expected, so I am a couple days behind, but in the coming week we will collect data and work on our algorithms for analyzing it.
