Today I spent a majority of the day writing code for our Arduino, which had the sole job of saving the temperature sensor data. I spent hours reading articles about how to save to an SD card, but it wasn’t working as expected, and I had 5 different temperature sensors that I needed to save the data from.
During this time, my lab partner was assembling the payload boxes across the street, so that we would just have to put our electronics in it.
We had a brown bag lunch where everyone talked about their subsystem documentation, as it was due by 3 pm today to Nate so he could put it all in a document to send for review.
We then had a brief meeting to talk about progress on assembling everything, and we were feeling pretty good about what we had to do.
In the afternoon, I went back to trying to code for the Arduino to save the temperature data. I was having a ton of problems with it, so I had a lot of guys from the lab help me out with writing the code. It ended up being after 7pm and everyone had to leave, so we figured that we could finish it the next morning.
Unfortunately, my partner wasn’t as productive as I had hoped, and only assembled one box- and took off early, which was a little frustrating. I hope tomorrow goes smoother!
