This week, I focused on getting the new servo up and working in addition to the game board state code. In addition, me and Aiden attached the 3D printed paddle onto the new servo. We will get a demo up and working next week with the visual speed verification of the paddle so we can make sure it aligns with our expectations. currently, we are still using the Arduino as out current STM has not arrived yet (Bing has one for his bat but we need another, it was out of stock so it did not get shipped). I also did research on which sensor to order, and am going to order by Monday next week so I can have one sensor ready to test and further expand upon that for the other sensors we plan to have.
I am slightly behind as I missed class on Wednesday, but aim to get extra work done on Sunday to get aught up. I expect to have a working paddle demo by Monday and also further estimates for the torque. We do not have the metal ball yet, so I would like to have that order sand tested as soon as possible. I also need to communicate with Bing on getting the servo/bluetooth signal set up.
In the next week, I want to have a complete demo of the paddle working so I can proceed with the game state testing. I have the baseline code written, but it will obviously require testing and debugging for it to be fully functional and as robust as we would like for the final demo. I also want to order the sensors.
