After completing and improving the hardware for the fluxgate sensors, the ("PC-based") group was planning the next steps, which include working not only with fluxgate sensors but also with ME sensors. The imitation of a bomb was prepared to simulate the change in the magnetic field of the Earth. Some tests were done to understand, how the signals from fluxgate sensors would look like. Two boxes with fluxgate sensors in them were placed at a fixed distance from each other and the "bomb" was driven over it. The changes in signals could be seen, when the sensors were very close to the "bomb". Next, the group will look at the possibilities of the software (KiRAT), to see how these signals can be processed.

The "embedded group" are pleased to report that significant progress has been made in programming the microcontroller since our last update. Our team has been dedicated to coding and debugging the analog-to-digital conversion aspect of the microcontroller. In order to ensure proper functionality of the signal conversion, a reverse code was utilized to convert digital signals to analog signals, which were then analyzed using an oscilloscope. Through these efforts, we have successfully confirmed the proper functioning of the ADC and DAC components of the microcontroller.
