Unit 3 - Oscillations
Now that we have an ESP32 set up with ultrasound, accelerometer, and bluetooth we can test it on a mass spring system and study oscillations.

Physics Background
To review physics laws on mechanics, please check out the OpenStax textbook. Here are important Chapters with respect to oscillations:
Pre-lab Week 5

- Due before Lab 3A
Lab 3A: Vertical Mass-Spring
In this lab, we explore a vertical mass-spring system. We will learn how to find the spring constant and collect both the ultrasound and accelerometer data for oscillations by using the ESP32 as the mass in the mass-spring system.
Lab 3B: Complex fitting
