In this stage of development which is still experimental the pcb design for the IR sensor has been developed successfully and awaits to be printed.
Trials of the pcb are also on the way to assess the efficiency and reliability of the circuitry and design.
The pcb design was challenging since a good amount of components had to be mounted on single layer meaning none of the pcb traces should intersect to avoid a short circuit.
Also we have tested and measured the parameters and tolerances of the sensors i.e testing the viewing distance and angle of the sensor to assure maximum efficiency and function.
In a way the circuit of the IR sensor is finished and we shall proceed with it's integration in the following days.
