Week 11/03 to Week 11/09

For this week, our team already got the new magnets, the size of magnet does very fit for our design. In addition, we successful manufacture the corrugated metal strip sample. However, we have some question about the Arduino code, so we are going to ask Dr. Furman in the coming week. 
In addition, we will determine the distance between the new magnet and sensor in order to design the proper sensor holder. Because the magnets arrived at 11/6/2016, the team have not had a chance to test it,so the design and the CAD drawing of the sensor is planned to be finished in this weekend. And a 3D printed model of the sensor holder will be available next week
On the other hand, after the sample of the corrugated metal strip was made, even though the strip was good for rapid prototype and testing, the 5mm distance between peaks was determined to be too large for accuracy. Thus, the team will consider making a smaller size corrugated metal strip in order for more accurate position sensing.
