This week, I started testing components for the saxophone fingering collector build, as well as starting some initial assemblies. I have tested all hall effect sensors, and confirm that they all work. However, the output voltage doesn’t get detected by the ESP32 controller just yet, so I need to do further testing next week to find working conditions.
The biggest delay is the slow speed in the production of the PCBs. Due to unfamiliarity with the process, there were several delays in placing the order to the vendor, delaying the timeline by 5 days. This means that I am slipping behind schedule, and it may push the completion time of the assembly by 1-2 weeks.
Since I cannot speed up the PCB process, I will divert some of my attention to the software side of things when I am finished with the voltage issue of the hall effect sensors.
