Comments from in person meeting on 5/16
Need to do simulated finger and power monitoring in order to compensate for different tolerances in bulbs
Testing moved to later in the week, should be completed before Wednesday Week 9
Talk to Greg for shunt resistors and DAC as well as information about lasers
Discussed with Greg about laser regulations and safety, decided that testing with lasers would be too much trouble
Obtained shunt resistor from Steve Roberts instead and discussed power monitoring with him instead
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
