Shiva has been working on collecting experimental demo values for the hardware so that we can model them in the simulator. We actually got REALLY promising results with very low standard deviation and a very consistent pattern (after removing outliers).
This graph had a standard deviation of <1ns which again is really promising because it means if you assume a synchronized clock, the error from other hardware components is quite low! Plus, the very consistent shape of the graph (same shape in multiple trials) looked like the result of oscillator clock drift to us.
So we implemented a simple algorithm to sync slave anchors with a master clock to see if it would improve our results. Shiva managed to implement it, but we are still trying to process and interpret the results.
As soon as those results are ready, we should be able to incorporate them into the simulator that Rhea and Udit have been working on. Details of that are available on Udit’s status page.
We are hoping that we can get that integration done by the demo. We have collected so many data points and graphs that will at least make our Final Paper quite interesting.
