Enes Palaz Status Update
- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, I continued working on connecting double buffer to ILDA conversion and DAC subsystem. Because of the asynchronous nature of all these subsystems debugging takes time. I managed to identify key breaking points and actively working on them. Also this week we encountered another bug caused by OpenCV package that prevents us from setting camera resolution so I am also working on compiling OpenCV manually to our resolution specifications.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We are not currently behind but I expect integration to take one more week so I moved them forward in our schedule while we continue working on other deliverables in parallel. No extra action needed to catch up since this problem doesn’t affect other hardware and fabrication tasks.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I am planning to finish debugging the integration of our software submodules and successfully compile OpenCV manually to our specifications.
Jake Zimmer Status Update
- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
I acquired the parts and finished assembling the boards for the system. Right now, I have left some parts off because during testing, we found them to not be required. These parts consist of the op amp circuitry and were easily bypassed. If we decide in the future to use the opamp, it can easily be added in. More testing needs to be done to the board during the integration phase.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I was not behind schedule but the order of some tasks changed. I have updated the schedule to reflect them.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
By the end of next week, the board hardware should be all done and the physical enclosure should be mocked up.
Eliana Cohen Status Update
- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
- Was away for most of the week for job interviews, so wasn’t able to accomplish anything.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I’m behind at the moment to catch up on other classwork, but I had anticipated I’d be unavailable for this week and so the time was pre-budgeted. I’ll pick up on debugging code and integrating hardware next week.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Help setup and test Safety Subsystem
- Debug ILDA/DAC libraries depending on what still needs to be completed by mid-week
Team Status Update
- What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
The current risk is the set of problems that we are having during integration of our software submodules. For this not to be a serious delay, both Enes and Eliana are actively working on getting this running. We believe we can solve these issues like we solved previous performance and ILDA conversion issues.
- Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
- Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
