Amber Horvath Winter Update 6

This week, our team worked on finishing our presentation and design documents for the Midterm Review. We also resolved some inter-personal conflicts due to some previous issues that had been presented by teammates regarding showing up to meetings and making contributions clear to all. Both these things were useful for determining our team's success and ensuring we are on the right track moving forward as we finish off the term. I also worked with the Electrical Engineer's on a testing suite for the SD Card library we implemented. However, this has been rather difficult as it is difficult to figure out errors for a microcontroller when it does not display feedback regarding what part of the code went wrong. We were trying to mitigate this by having LEDs that would light up when certain parts of the code failed, but I was not able to borrow the LED component attached to PORTD for the weekend. I will most likely continue attempting to isolate the error or else meet and discuss with the EE's soon.

Plans for the upcoming week is to go to our mandatory class tomorrow where we will present our elevator pitches. I will also attempt to meet up with the EE's so we can be done with this SD Card business.

The code failing to work has been the biggest blocker, and it could be due to many different potential issues. One reason could be that the pins are misconfigured or that there's something wrong in my code. The EE's were in charge of ensuring the drivers for the SD Card were correct and I was in charge of getting the testing code up and running so I'm not sure which end is failing.
