This week, most of our parts arrived that we will need for initial assembly of the bare-bones device. Most importantly, we received the IMU and Raspberry Pi, which we should be able to use along with an Arduino unit and SD card to start work. Once these arrived, we were able to learn more about the components necessary to operate the Raspberry Pi unit - most of these we have or can easily acquire, which we will be doing over the next week. It also required a change of settings on the microSD card to the NOOBS operating system; this change was accomplished on Thursday, and should allow the memory card to be compatible with the Pi. We will also have to install Rasbian on the Pi unit.
Over the weekend, we all will meet to begin assembly of the parts we have. To prepare, we will begin reading through manuals for the parts, since it is important that we are all able to operate the system. Emma will locate guides for the IMU since it does not come with instructions; she will then become the team ‘expert’ on this material. Based on how the weekend’s meeting goes, we will plan our work for the upcoming week. Our goals for next week include connecting the IMU to the Arduino such that data is transmitted, developing initial programming for the Pi, and having all available parts correctly connected.
