[Jing] Final Status Report

This week, I focused on preparing for the final presentation.

I also worked on the circuitry for controlling the door. The solenoid circuit that I originally had was not compatible with the Jetson. It required 4V to activate the solenoid, but the Jetson outputs at most 3.3V. To solve this, I used a 22ohm resistor and another transistor with a 5V source to allow 4V to pass to the gate of the original transistor.

Additionally, I breadboarded an H-bridge to control the motor, but have yet to test it with actual code.
