Sydney’s Status Report for March 25

This week I primarily worked on getting the IMUs working with the mux. I ran into a lot of problems with the IMU’s not being detectable once connected to the MUX, but after troubleshooting for several hours, realized that for whatever reason with the MUX, I was only able to read the sensor data if I decreased the clock speed for I2C to 100kHz. So I am officially ‘done’ with getting the back device working / reading data. My main goal for the upcoming week is going to be getting the bluetooth from the arduino to our webapp working so that the users’ data can actually be displayed / processed. Luckily, I am actually mostly caught up now. I still haven’t made any progress on the foot device, but after working with Jasmine to get bluetooth working I will get started on that. We were also able to get a bluetooth example working, so I am hopeful that converting the example to our application specific use case won’t take significant time.  Unfortunately because of the issues with the MUX, our placing sensors onto fabrics was delayed(as we wanted to make sure everything was working before committing to them), but that should happen without much problem next week) So in effect next week I am hoping to get the sensor data communicated via BLE to our webapp, and I am going to work with Rachel to get the sensors attached to fabrics so that it can be ready for the demo. I will likely also experiment with making sure the batteries we got provide sufficient power to our device.
