Crystal’s Status Report – 12/6

This week was quite eventful. I fried one of our pwm expanders which was a critical part of our project. To fix this there were 4 possible solutions: connect 10 servos to the stm and 6 to the raspberry pi and use UART signaling to initiate servo motor movement (all servos would not be able to move at once, give up on 6 of them and only drive 26 servo motor, use an arduino to drive the remaining servo motors, or use an Arduino Mega. Originally, I borrowed an Arduino Mega from Roboclub, but their Mega was broken and the I2C did not work. We had to borrow one from Justin from Techspark. I had to rewrite the STM code on to the Arduino. We are on track to finish because we have to. Next week we hope to finish everything (duh).
