Accomplishments
- UART Communication: Completed and validated UART connection between the Pi5 and Pico
- Hardware Assembly: Assembled fan and radiator subassembly, mounted SSRs and Pico to 3d printed mounts
- Fabrication: Ordered custom cut parts for testbench
- PWM Code: Started Pico control code for Servos
- Sensor Code: Successfully connected and read from TMP117 and ADS1115 sensors through Pi5
- Resolved I2C address conflicts
Significant Risks
- Delay in Assembly: Waiting on delivery of custom-cut boards
- Risk mitigation: Complete full assembly next week once boards arrive
Design Changes
- No major design changes this week
Schedule Changes
- Schedule remains the same
- Slight delay due to fabrication lead time, but full assembly and loop testing expected to begin next week
