Week two (06/02/24)

    

Tried using filters to remove noise and found that they were unnecessary.

 

Tried peak voltage circuit and found that this was unnecessary since the Pico has high enough sampling rate.

 

Built and connected a voltage divider for each of the piezos so that the input to the Pico would always be less than the maximum of the ADC.

 

Basic calibration programmed in Arduino to compensate for some sensors being more responsive than others.

 

Extensive testing to ensure that the wac a mole was working ok.

 

Began transferring the circuit to Veroboard.

  Week three (13/02/24) Initial circuit diagram Breakout board for the LCD display arrived (this was required because the pins on the LED display were closer together than the tracks on Veroboard).   Completed transferring the circuit to Veroboard, most of the circuit was housed inside a small box. We made a hole in the back of this box for all the wires to go through.   LCD display did not work, the cause of this is unknown.
