Casey's Weekly Progress Reports

11/7/16 to 11/11/16:

• Designed and built a frequency to voltage converter circuit to be used in the output stage of the analog sensor boards
• Built a preliminary breadboard test setup for the CPU board using a ZIF socket (to test the SMT Atmega328p-AU) and through-hole components
• Used AVR programmer to run some simple test code on a bare (non-bootloaded) Atmega328p-AU to verify that fuses are set and external clock is working correctly
• Performed some integration testing between analog sensor board and CPU board

11/14/16 to 11/18/16:

• Finalized the CPU board test setup
• Wrote, compiled, and ran some test code to ensure functionality of CPU board features prior to finalizing design
• Designed preliminary state diagram for microprocessor code
