03/22/2020
Finished UART code for interface with Bluetooth module for controlling the tank
Finished SPI code for interface between micro-controller and motor driver
Soldered last remaining motor controller
Mounted all parts onto tank and confirmed functionality

Received SOIC to dip part and soldered parts
Attached batteries pack to tank and motor
Continued to work on interface between micro-controller and bluetooth
Continued to work on interface between micro-controller and motor controller
03/06/2020
Interfaced motor controller with STM32 and checked to see if correct switching and polarities were executed
Affixed motor controller leads and battery harnesses together
Realized we needed another part for correct motor controller functionality
Tried to verify turning operation in tank
02/28/2020
Interfaced with HC-05 USART Bluetooth module and STM
Sent simple commands like "f" - forward, "r" - reverse, "s" - stop, "l" - turn left, "r" - turn right over bluetooth to STM
Tested tank chassis drive and differential turning by attaching battery pack and watching it move forward, turn
