Emily Clayton’s Status Report 11/6/2021

This week I initially re-soldered some of the LEDs, and then passed that off to Albany to finish off. Last week I had created the testing code for the LEDs, and this week I made and tested the functions that the Arduino will use when receiving data from the STM. Now Albany and I had to finalize what kind of inputs the Arduino will receive from the STM, then the LED portion will be done aside from hooking them onto the bike. I uploaded this code and the CAD files that were on my W drive into our git repository.

My plan for next week is to work on getting the battery power going for the whole system so we can start testing the entire thing in real world environments. I had to rework some of the capacitor/inductor selections for the 5V and 8V buck converters, since my values from last time were wrong. Even though we have the demos on Monday and Wednesday, I would still like to get everything for the battery power sorted by then, so by next week we can start testing with the batteries.
