What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
I finished assembling the breadboard circuit and testing it to see if it actually worked. The way how Arduino detects the inputs is via a voltage divider circuit, so when the flex sensor was being bent, there would be a different voltage drop. I had to test the other resistor I was using to ensure that the change in the ADC reading from the Arduino had sufficient range; if the other resistor was too small or large, there wouldn’t really be a noticeable change in resistance. I ended up asking for permission from a 220 TA to use the resistors they had in their lab as I asked Professor Tamal if there were available resistors around.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Progress is on schedule.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
This week, I plan to begin soldering the sensors.
