Today is the final day before the regional competition. We began the day with a huge list of tasks to complete. We first gave a presentation to second years where we explained the competition and how our can works. This was done in order to spread the word of the competition and to prepare us for the inevitable presentation to the judges tomorrow. This was very beneficial for us, as we were able to get other peoples opinions on the presentation and incorporated answers into our presentation from the many questions we received.
Our next task was to revise the code and solder on the final two sensors. The coding was very painstaking as we had to learn a lot about software serials and digital sensors, due to our oxygen sensor. Through much trial and error, we eventually began to get readings from our sensor. The pressure values also seemed inaccurate. We began to fiddle we the code and eventually solved our problem - the code was structured wrong. We also had a soldering problem where the battery was soldered in wrong. After many hours of suffering, we finally got everything to work. We then did a final test of our parachute which is available to see on our twitter profile -> https://twitter.com/thegreencansat/status/973672238443614208
