Last week, we focused on our jacket, which has been stripped down, and pockets are being sewn on. The jacket was a great find at only $7 from a thrift store! We have also started working with out neopixels, but we found out the the cables had been connected wrong! Andres sorted the issue by welding the correct cables on and we’re ready to continue testing them this week. We also had some difficulty with our coding of the neopixels, which was due to a bad connection with our Arduino.
For next week, we are going to continue our work on the coding, make the neopixels work, and attach the heart rate monitor. The jacket will be further prepped, and we will get organza by thursday to start attaching to the jacket.
