In November the hardware construction began, we were tasked with making an IR (infrared) sensor which was outlined in the handbook and getting it passed so we could start creating and implementing our PCB. The construction of the IR sensor posed a few issues during development such as our chip being non-functional which caused a slight delay, some spacing issues on the breadboard mean that wires crossed and gave us inconsistent results until they were found but in the end our circuit was completed and submitted for checking to allow us to create our PCB.
