I've been selected as a finalist for the Guthman Instrument Competition 2022! 

I've been assembling parts for a new version of the GLOBE. I'm still a long ways off. But I thought I would test out the FSRs and the 16 channel multiplexers. I haven't gotten around to testing every FSR, but the one that I did test works well. 

I felt unsure if the issues I was seeing with the multiplexer was due to a bad breadboard or if it was the multiplexer. So I plugged it in to the GLOBE since I made the parts modular. It turns out you never know how good these boards will be. Also, I am pretty certain that the issues with a few bleeding pins in the original have more to do with the board than my connections. I have multi-coloured pins, so I am using different colours on each multiplexer in order to keep track. I have only tested 5 so far before having to call it a day. 

1. Yellow (original): pins 13, 15, and 16 bleed in to each other. I remember 15/16, but can't remember of 13 is something new that has just come up.  
2. Blue: pin 10 bleeds into everything, except into pins 15/16. Pin 15 bleeds into everything except into pin 16. Pin 16 bleeds into everything, except pin 15. 
3. White: Identical to Yellow 
4. Green: Identical to Yellow 
5. Red: Only pin 12 works. The rest are stagnant at 1024. 

I also got a Michale's gift card! So I'll hopefully find more fabric paints soon.
