Callum Bagnall’s Status Reports

This Week: Troubleshooted the sensor matrix with Anirud Tested using a standalone power source for the matrix rails (we found that we were current limited by the Arduino 5V pin) … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 04/27”

This Week: Debugging and troubleshooting: Lots of it. This week, Anirud and I encountered significant problems with reading Arduino values. After wiring and rewiring, many of these problems were solved … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 4/20”

This Week: Bundled cables for matrix output – this was changed on Wednesday to a hard-wired design with temporary spacers shown below. Soldered PCBs together giving us a much more … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 04/06”

This Week Worked on Arduino sensing code and made it compatible with multiple analog inputs. Created a running average matrix system for the sensing code Wrote a Python script which … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 03/30”

This Week: Found optimal distances for the wireless charger Created a half-row model of the sensing array on a breadboard to test Tested breadboard array with Android/Apple Phones and wireless … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 3/17”

Last Week: Created flow charts to visualize design clearly Completed Design Review Report This Week: Created multiple schematic designs for the sensor PCBs so that Anirud and I could determine … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 3/09”

Personal Accomplishments: Anirud determined the optimal range for hall effect sensors; I took the data and adjusted the Desmos diagram to represent this change. This brings our total number of … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 2/24”

Personal Accomplishments: This week, Anirud and I spoke about the requirements for a sensing matrix. I did some further work here after discussing project dimensions with Luca to find out how … Read More “Callum’s Status Report for 2/17”
