I would estimate that at least 75% of my time this week was spent on researching how IMUs function, what they’re capacities are, how they integrate, and how raw data is taken from them and used for metrics like position and displacement. I lot of this led us to not only understand the flow of our hardware architecture but also the exact model of IMU we wanted to use. We settled on the BNO055 which has a decent data rate and operates at the data precision we were hoping for. The rest of my time was spent preparing for the design presentation and creating several spec charts and diagrams.
I would estimate that we are on track and not running behind schedule. We ordered our IMU sensors in the middle of the week and are hoping to get them in by early this week to begin novel implementation and data capturing with them in order to have a very novel integration phase with Jamshed and his software side via Bluetooth by the end of next week.
