Nora’s Status Report for 3/11

I spent a majority of the week working on the design report with my team members. As a result, I was not able to conduct thorough testing of the scheduling. I did implement additional code to handle rests in the music as well as setting the GPIO pins low when a note is finished playing. This will handle cases where the same note is played twice or more in a row.

Since I was not able to test the timing accuracy of the scheduling, I am slightly behind schedule. However, I plan to catch up by allocating time tomorrow to fully test out the new code and verify the timing accuracy of the current code using a metronome.

Next week, I plan on modularizing the GPIO pin mapping and working with Aden to integrate with the actuators. I will need to check if the timing still holds once the hardware is involved, since one bottleneck we encountered earlier on was that time it took to activate the solenoids limited our max frequency.
