week six & week seven
At this point, the whole design was coming together very well. The different failure modes for the sensor were being targeted and I was trying to work out the different problems with the program. The board was completed and ordered; the other parts that were required for the board were also ordered.
The board had to be small enough to fit onto the STOP sensor mount, but large enough to include all the components. The final sensor mount was also modified to include a depression for the PCB. The board was powered off a USB that was connected to the USB hub inside the robot. The USB wire was routed through the sensor mount through a hole drilled into the robot's front face.
