Team Status Update 10/28

This week, we planned out our code for when we receive our final set of sensors. Sarah also finished routing and milling our PCB. In terms of the risks that our project currently faces, we still haven’t received our IMU, so we can’t start fully coding that part yet until we can figure out and play around with the IMU’s calibration and sensor outputs. We are also facing issues with the PCB – specifically, Techspark’s PCB mill was not accurate enough for our small PCB, and we identified shorts between the traces on the board. We are planning on either using a vector board or ordering our PCB, but with the increased shipping time, we are a little bit worried about how this will affect the timeline of our project. We plan to make our decision about the board by Monday when we can place orders, and update our timeline accordingly if necessary.
