It is the second day of MasLab. Checkpoint one should have been finished last night, but our MC was not cooperating with us. After it was soldered into our Arduino shield properly (checked ever connection a hundred times) it failed to function in any way. It didn't even idle properly. Both RX and TX values on the MC were being held high when they should ave been communicating. The green LED blinked at a rate about twice as high as it should have been in idle and it never output any voltage on the motor outputs. Will talk to MasLab instructors for more information.
Leading theories (not in any specific order): 1. Software issue 2. Hardware issue
I think that about covers everything.
