Accessing the amount of cable termination, and length adjustment needed for external hub cable runs, and the assoc. cable mangement within the bag.
Troubleshooting with the feather. Code specific to the buttons input not working as expected. Code was working, separately from additonal bluetooth code on another MC device. Feather device assumed to be damaged from reversed polarity battery. A duplicate device was reordered. Progress on the controller code not on schedule, and running behind.
Working on written report.
(30 Hrs)
Group Meeting:
Discussed finishing details for the camera mount, the need for an additional 3D print for the camera. The camera will then will mounted by velcro to the desire location. Multiple velcro attachment areas may be possible for many options.
Talked about controller progress, and the set back with feather MC, reordered device might not arrive in time. Ideas on 3D printing/ PCB and general assembly were discussed, and the design was modified to excluded the side buttons.

The reordered feather was received rather quickly, much quickly than expected. Updated bootloader, and loaded coded, and button inputs worked as expected. This verifies the old feather was indeed damaged. Coded If statements to print specific button pushes to the serial monitor but will stop anymore coding for the controller and let Kevin do the more difficult coding that will be needed for the button pushes to send commands over the Blurtooth connection that has been etasblished.
Working on written report: Organizing the contribution sections. Adding and editing content.
Group Communication:
Since controller progress has been stalled Kevin has offered to take over the controller to finish it up. This will allow Marty to focus on the data collection, the report and general documentation that will be due very quickly.
Also due to the controller assembly not on schedule the completition of the finger print scanner is in question. It has been decided that the fingerprint device will be left out of the 3D printed controller design. If there is time the fingerprint scanner can be added to the still on breadboard prototype phase controller since we will have an additional feather MC board to work on.
