This week I worked on the Ethics assignment, as well as beginning work on the hardware interface. Our boards finally arrived, yay! So far I have managed to get the basic example working, meaning that we can read sensor data from the IMUs. I am still working on getting the on board quartenion processing working. I also worked on configuing the boards bluetooth to work with our web application, which created a potential concern for me. The Arduino web bluetooth library and the DMP library together might occupy all of the on board arduino memory without even including anything extra for our program. So this is something I am going to start investigating next week when I will probably try and combine the two. Worst case scenario, I think we will just offload the quaternion processing to the web app. On the github, you can see the work I have done / played around with under ‘hardware’. Looking at the schedule, while I am currently behind, I think I will be able to catch up next week as configuring the sensors doesn’t appear to be as much of a problem as we originally anticipated. As I did meet the goal of reading data from the devices this week. Next week it shouldn’t be much of a problem to get the IMU’s placed onto our fabrics. I will also try to get the MUX working so that I can read data from all of the sensors, not just one.
