During the week before Spring Break, I worked on the design report. This required making some more decisions about the hardware subsystem, specifically the power supply. Unfortunately I had a very busy week leading up to the design report submission and was traveling that Friday, so we needed to ask for an extension to complete the report. I also worked with Quinn to resolve a miscommunication on parts ordering, which should be resolved now. I need to meet with Katherine this week and discuss the power system implementation since it seems we have different ideas about how it will work. Realistically I think we are behind schedule and I will need to do a lot more work between now and the interim demo to catch up. The tasks I need to complete this week are connecting the IMU and flex sensors to the RPico, and powering the RPico to ensure we can get signals out of it.
