After multiple revisions, we&#8217;ve successfully improved the setup. The small wires extending from the top and bottom of the PCBs are now connected with jumpers, allowing for daisy-chaining in both left and right directions. This design reduces the risk of shorts, as the interconnecting wires are not soldered directly to the boards, providing more space and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>We received additional PCBs from JLCPCB and addressed wear from the soldering and desoldering processes on the original boards by acquiring new parts and soldering more units.<\/p>\n<p>I also completed enhancements to the ammeter sensing code. Initially, the readings were unstable due to noise, but after implementing a moving average algorithm, the data stabilized. Verification with a laboratory oscilloscope confirmed the ammeter&#8217;s accuracy. Adjustments to the baud rate and sample count further optimized the balance between measurement speed and precision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No changes to the schedule; progress is on track.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next week, I&#8217;ll collaborate with Callum to address issues in the Sensor Matrix code and refine our sampling techniques.<\/p>\n<p>We plan to finalize and secure the wiring for the PCBs.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Callum and I will focus on building the Finite State Machine (FSM) and integrating it with the subsystems&#8217; code.
