Senior Project Prototypes

Last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I ended up spending close to 36 hours in the Tektronics Lab at school building and debugging our Senior Project Prototypes for our presentation on Monday. Because the person who was suppose to write the code and test the microcontroller in our design had not done completed their work, we were way behind! We didn't even have a mock-up complete until Friday night, this should have been done at least a weeks ago... But because we had to wait for the code, we couldn't test the mock-up to see if it was working properly. It took us all day Saturday to get a PC Protoboard together and working properly. And then we spent close to 14 hours on Sunday building the last 4 Protoboards, connecting their Infrared emitters and detectors, mounting them in the display boxes, and finally debugging any errors and make sure that they all communicate with each other.

I was exhausted, but at least Monday morning 4 of them worked and we got the good job nod from OMSI.
