Project Update (week 6)

After coming back from the christmas holidays, our motivation was renewed and we have been working hard ever since. Project has progressed greatly on both software and hardware sides. We have been able to finish two of the three sprints, which included subjects such as testing and building the PCB boards. Boards were built for using two transducers for both sending and receiving although the end product is supposed to use one sensor that acts as both  a sender and a receiver.

We have also been using Arduino UNO boards to simulate the end product since it's the one we are more familiar with. Coding has been done on Arduino IDE and C++ using Atmel studio, and at the same time studying coding in C using the stm32L476RG board Enevo guys sent us. The latter has proven quite a beast to tame.

After this, we are very excited about presenting our working prototype in the ICT showroom on the 9th of March, where most of the other Capstone project and other project groups are presenting their work for mostly the school student audience.

After the showroom, the work will be mostly polishing and optimizing the product and perhaps moving from arduino to stm board. Also, if time, we will be adding additional features.
