This week was mainly spent working on the design report. It took a lot more time than we anticipated, which meant there was less progress than I hoped in terms of programming the hardware. Nonetheless, I spent some time trying to program the NodeMCU mode so it can interact as planned between the IMU, buttons, and LED. Preliminary tests were done with the IMU to make sure that it was able to detect tilt and motion through changes of velocity and acceleration. Additionally, I programmed simple functionality so that the NodeMCU can detect when the button is being pressed and being able to turn the LED on/off.
Due to feedback from previous presentations about our schedule being too ambitious, I set back the schedule for hardware a little bit. With this new adjusted schedule, I am on track.
The next steps are to start working on double integrating the IMU data to see how accurate the distance measurements are. I also need to purchase the Unity package Uduino so we can do some preliminary testing of our data transferring to help prevent future issues in integration.
