156B Week 3

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • We have encountered a change in the direction of the project. We have shifted our focus from "achieve localization" toward "building a sensor hardware piece." 

Agenda of Week 3

• • Work on microprocessor : 

    • Establish communication between ESP32 and PC --> Implement upload code onto ESP32

  • Work on detection algorithm : 

    • pseudo code --> preliminary code

  • Researches on PCB: will replace most of the current circuitry

  • 3D Print photodiode fixtures

Agenda of Week 4

• • Measurement on signal strength of photodiode module --> Finalize detection algorithm

  • Finalize PCB design
