11/6 - 11/8

I only had two days of work so far this week because of Election Day and Veterans Day on Tuesday and Friday. I started off the week by fixing a problem with the multiplexer where the pins would stop working and constantly read the sensors as activated, or "LOW". The problem was in the code, because there were unnecessary delays that for some reason messed with the sensors and activated them. This also fixed a problem that I was having with the display not printing "NA" when no sensors were activated.

The other day I spent helping my classmate Anthony Cartolano make and mill his PCB. We encountered a problem while milling however. The holes didn't look the right size in fusion, despite supposedly being so, but I told him that we could test how they looked while being milled, and they weren't the right size in there either. I first thought that it could be that the Bantam Tools rules for milling weren't installed, but that wasn't the problem because after testing it again, they were still the same size, so I'll try and help him figure that out and be able to mill his PCB, as well as get back to my own project.
