Fixing issues with moving files to different folder

We decided to move the controller related files into it’s own directory. This caused alot of error since the Arduino compiler could not recognize our files in this new folder. We used a few hours to fix this issue.

While looking further into to problem with the controllers directory, I found an article that specified a peculiar thing with the Arduino compiler.

In recent versions of the Arduino IDE (including 1.6.10) if you want to include libraries from the sketch folder you need to put them in a src subfolder.

After creating a “src” folder and moving the controllers directory into this new folder, the issue was fixed. We decided to do this so it was easier to navigate our code. We also made some changes to the item calss, this is the class that holds all our items in the system.

I also increased the debounce delay of the button code in order to fix a bug with the button registering two presses.

Mechanical engineers

This week both of the mechanical engineers were busy with continuation exams and could not afford to spend time on the project. We have received information that the parts ordered will arrive in week 42. We would therefore like to set up a physical prototype in order to set up the primary functions of the system, so the computer and electrical engineers can work with a physical model.

Electronics

This week there wasn’t anything for me to do, so I spent my time working on other subjects while waiting for the prototype of the system.
