This week was a little less eventful than usual, but Clara and I are slowly wrapping up our projects. One of the gyroscopes that I wanted to test was a shuttle board instead of a breakout board like the others and I had...
Week four was a very productive week. The MAXWELL gyroscopes were ordered and I wrote up an experiment similar to the test done on gyroscopes for the QB50 satellite in the past. The hang test will allow the accuracy of several triple axis gyroscopes to be...
Hi everybody! Week three has been great, our mentor, Andrew, is back and I’ve started working on testing the gyroscopes with the Arduino. I also learned how to solder when I soldered the pins onto the Adafruit breakout board. We took a tour of Bio-Serve,...
