Week 06 | Electronics Production

This week's assignment is to add a sensor to a microcontroller board that we have designed and read it.

Things I did for this week:

  1. Design and make a 3-axis accelerometer module for measuring rotation and acceleration
  2. Tap into the design for a digital hourglass for output week based on this week's input device
  3. Remade my site using mkdocs

I have worked with off-the-shelf sensor module a lot before. So for this week I specifically want to learn how to design and make a sensor device from mere components.
