OCTOBER BLOG

In October, we made great progress on our micro-mouse project, especially with the development of the IR sensing system. We started by building the IR sensor circuit on a breadboard, carefully arranging components to optimize detection accuracy and stability. After getting the basic setup running, we adjusted a few programs, fine-tuning the code to ensure the sensor data was accurate and responsive enough for our maze navigation goals. With a stable circuit and improved code in place, we turned our attention to designing a custom PCB in Proteus, laying the groundwork for a more streamlined and reliable hardware solution. I also focused beginning the individual coding tasks, which were done on Arduino IDE, and flew through them, making sure they were being assessed by a supervisor. I hit a brick wall when it came to some of the tasks like the task 3.7 due to the complex maths. However, with some aid from the supervisors, . Overall, October was a productive month, moving us closer to a fully functioning micromouse.
