Team 'e cubed (e to the three)) continues to march on towards midterm! Most of the fantastic documentation can be found on emily's blog:

Where this week we added our Bill of Materials, updated systems diagram, sound sample, FLIR experiments, and beginning progress with mapping analog pulse sensor data into our fireflies! Additionally, here is the video of our current progress with motion triggering video. In the user raised a highlighter into the camera's view it will trigger footage of a bird flying away. Hopefully with continued work we can integrate this video with our forest scene, and possibly trigger a series of birds in flight.

In this week's lab we used an h bridge for the first time. As seen in the chart below, the motor's direction is controlled by the two motor logic pins (1A and 2A). For our lab we also included a switch input, and programmed the board using a simple if statement to change the HIGH/LOW setting of the motor logic pins based on whether or not the switch was pushed.
