During the week of December 9-16, we successfully verified the magnetometer's functionality and have continued to interface it with our selected MCU. We can now send and receive arbitrary data, although the data retrieved from the magnetometer is inconsistent. Configuration data sent to the magnetometer cannot yet be verified, and some inconsistencies stem from compiler optimizations we are addressing. Additionally, we found that the MCU lacks sufficient current to drive the motor. By incorporating Common Emitter principles, the motors are now functioning properly. The tag database has also been updated and completed.

From 12/9 – 12/16 EE Progress
Magnetometer Testing • Last week, we verified the functionality of magnetometer • We have since worked on interfacing the magnetometer with our selected MCU • Currently, we can send and receive arbitrary data • Data retrieved from the magnetometer does not appear to arrive in a consistent order • Currently, configuration data transmitted to the magnetometer cannot be verified • Some of these issues have been traced back to compiler optimizations, which we are currently searching for methods of circumventing
Motor • The MCU by itself, does not have enough current to drive the motor • The basic principles of a Common Emitter were incorporated to our solution • Motors now run properly
Tags • We updated/completed the tag database that last years team had.
