Day 3
On Day 3, we started working on our project- NeuroDrive. We worked together in our groups to finalize the circuit design and connected the various electronic components on a breadboard according to our circuit diagram. A major part of the day was spent testing the ECG sensor, which will play an important role in our project. However, we faced many challenges getting the sensor to produce consistent and accurate readings, the process helped us better understand troubleshooting and the importance of patience in engineering projects.
Additionally, we also finished the code for both the transmitter and receiver ESP32. We also referenced Team 11's Mind to Motion project to help build our code's framework, which was really helpful.
We also made several modifications to our robot's design as we refined our ideas and adapted to practical constraints. To prepare the robot's structure, we cut and shaped the chassis so that it could properly accommodate all four wheels. In addition, we completed the CAD model for the custom mounts for the DC gear motors, which will allow them to be securely attached to the chassis. The day helped us identify issues and finalize both the electronics and mechanical design, which we will continue working on in the coming days.
