Most of the work for this week was spent on the design report and fleshing out details for our device that weren’t set in stone or coming up with implementation plans. The rest of the week I used to set up the BNO055 with Arduino and confirmed real time data output along with minor power supply research. Having a sensor set up with Arduino instead of only the ESP32 will help with parallel testing and allow me to work on the sensor data and power independently from the Bluetooth communication. Testing was not consistently successful, however, due to losing contact in the sensor inputs from loose wire connections (no solder yet and waiting on STEMMA QT cables). For next week, as the cables arrived during break, I want to ensure reliable data output and move to confirming accuracy with ground truth comparisons and work on calibration if there are mismatches.
So far things seem to be on schedule.
