Enes Palaz Status Update

• What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
  • Worked on optimizing parameters for edge and contour detection to get best visuals for the demo.
  • Worked on documentation of test results for the final report.
  • Worked on testing demo setup with planned white backdrop.

 

•  Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
  • Everything is on schedule and we are ready for public demos.

 

• What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Jake Zimmer Status Update

• What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
  • I got the sub board fully working and integrated with the full camera raspberry pi
  • I rewrote the SPI communications part of the dac driver firmware stack to make it much faster. Before we were limited by the Linux SPI implementation to around 70k transfers per second. This meant that we were often struggling to hit our goal of of 12kpps because each point requires 6 transfers. Now, we are able to perform hundreds of thousands of transfers per second.

Eliana Cohen Status Update

• What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
  • Helped out more with integration
  • Generated some graphs for our test results
  • Tweaked the interpolation values for the laser

 

•  Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
  • On Track – We meet our requirements, and we’re fairly satisfied with our final project, though we saw room for improvement through a different raspberry pi GPIO library that may have faster output to our DACs

 

• What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
  • We’re done!

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? 
  • We managed to get a stable setup for the public demo. Hopefully, we will be ready to do a colorful and visual demo on public demo day.

 

• 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? 
  • Project structure stayed the same but we played with system parameters for ILDA generation and edge detection to get best visuals for demo. This was planned so no structural changes were necessary.

 

• Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred. 
  • No changes in schedule.
