Over the past week I worked on fixing some bugs in the ESP32 code and using it to start collecting data traces to test our algorithms with. It works better than expected; after filtering outliers and doing smoothing, the results are pretty consistent with what they should look like (at least over a several-meter range). We’re still trying to get it working on short ranges as well. There are no major roadblocks that I see blocking us going forward. I also started taking data measurements with the Yagi directional antenna to see if that data can be useful to our final algorithm or if the ToF data is sufficient.
In the next week I’m hoping to work on the end-user interface and figure out how we’ll actually stream the results out of our algorithm and display it to the user.
