During this month we completed and uploaded the PCB design to be examined by Mr.Moody. We also did some work with the sensors to ensure they were working correctly. Dr Davies and Dr Joblings performed their test to see if our micro mouse was running in a straight line, and to also test the sensor circuit we built on the breadboard. In the later parts of the month I changed my focus onto revising for the upcoming exams so did not focus on the micro mouse project.
This month we had a few assessment deadlines, so we concentrated majorly on completing them, as we had to complete the PCB design, ensure that the sensors were working properly and ensure that our micromouse prototype was running fine. Finally, we had to complete our lab diaries in teams of two, At the beginning of the month, it did seem like a lot of work to complete, but luckily enough we were able to do them step by step. We had a test with Dr Jobling and Dr Timothy Davies to confirm that our micromouse was running in a straight line and that it could perform obstacle avoidance, we had a practical test on our sensors on the same day. I am glad that our team could handle the pressure of deadlines and still work together. We also added some more news to our News Page so check that out, The next blog will be out in February.
