  • Wrote functionality tests for the LIDAR, the ultrasound, the bluetooth connection to the jacket from the Pi, and the speedometer.
  • Tested the ultrasonic sensors in an array of 3. Works well.
  • Tested the LIDAR outdoors, and has good response up to about 20m in the rain (we all did this on Monday).
  • Tested the polling rate of the LIDAR, the polling rate is more than sufficient.
  • Tested the Pi’s bluetooth connection with Arduino, programmatically connecting and transmitting messages. Success.
  • Wrote the libraries to interface with the various components easily.
  • Wrote a primitive distance algorithm for frontal collision detection.
