Frances’ Status Report for 9/27/25

A majority of this week was researching the parts list and fleshing out how the frisbee controller would be implemented. We have settled on using a RPi 5 and an Arduino Nano ESP32 for our microcontrollers, a BNO085 Smart IMU for the IMU, and a VL53L8CX for our ToF sensor. We have also settled on using OpenPose to get spatial information that is critical to our design. I have requested the RPi 5 from the 18-500 Parts List, and I have an Arduino Uno at home that I have started tinkering around and writing code with. We are planning to order the sensors and the other microcrontroller later next week, after our Design Presentation.
The other majority of my week was used on putting together the presentation slide deck and creating our block diagrams.
