Progress | Week 5

This week I completed the second iteration for each of the block diagrams (system and modular), as well as created the first iteration for each of the flowcharts (total system and modules).I also decided with Lazaro that the project would center around using python as the primary programming language due to our level of familiarity with it. I confirmed that the microcontroller boards we plan to use are compatible with python, and it co-aligns with the use case for the project (meaning python should be fast enough to keep up with the high polling rate of the sensors.)Basic webpage UI/UX improvements were made, including the block diagrams/flowcharts page.Project research was an emphasis this week, including part compatibility, product specifications, and technical components for all modules of the project. This is especially important moving forward as we have to begin managing the size and weight constraints of the device, as well as determining necessary inclusions (such as an ADC due to the IR sensor's analog data).

Below are the updated block diagrams, as well as flowcharts, which can be found on the respective webpage.
