What I accomplished this week
I spent this week testing and debugging my code. Unfortunately, I didn’t get as much as done as I would’ve liked to due to midterms. I was able to manage to integrate the external interrupts into my code so now when I press Pb+, it adds 1 to the counter and when I press Pb-, it subtracts 1. The processor determines the pulse frequency of the thermoelectric module depending on the value of the counter. An issue I ran into was that the buttons were too responsive so when I pressed the pushbutton once, the processor registered it as me pressing it several times. To solve this, I need to add millis() to my code to delay it.
Next week’s work
It’s going to be a very busy three weeks leading up to the Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 16. Once I finish coding this I still need to perform a user study to get some test data from several human subjects in a controlled environment. Next week, I would like to get my code working and write up a description of the details of the tests.
