We cleared out a big obstacle this week – doing ToF measurements. We were donated a copy of PicoScenes Premium, which will allow us to integrate ToF and RSS sensing on the same platform/WiFi chip. This will make our system cheaper and simpler to implement than our previous plan of using an ESP32 chip for ToF.
Next week we will be actually wiring and hopefully starting to run our physical system. We feel like we’ve reached the limits of what we can do theoretically so we need to start collecting physical data to get feedback on our system.
Most significant risks right now are that our progress from our individual work may not transfer over into the integrated implementation. Now that we understand the solutions and how they work, we think that we would be able to reimplement them much quicker than our first time.
