Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
So far 3 segments are assembled and connected together
However, controlling multiple connected segments, individually, is not yet achieved
We are having issues with the breakout USB board establishing connection, looking into purchasing a better breakout USB board.
