Nic Cywinski’s Work Log

Project Update 1: This week, we made progress in deciding what our project priorities will be throughout the semester, and purchased the necessary components to fulfil this goal. The main problem that we set out to solve this week was how we would me measuring the mass of an object. We found a variety of different ways to do this, but we settled on using load cells, and a HX711 amplifier for mass measurements. Next week, we will begin to integrate the load cells, amplifier, and Arduino to build a simple scale.
