Progress In week 10, I had progress in recording the IR Code for the TrusTech portable A/C, fully tested the functionality of turning on Vizio TV and A/C remotely using WebApp, testing the image-stitching and homography on the local machine. This marks the phase 3 exits and we are ready Read more…
Progress In week 9, as a team, the following objectives were done. Web App Successfully Deployed LIRC Database migrated to IR Man’s MongoDB database Web to IR Circuit Local Testing Done and Passed Raspberry Pi Motor Control Done Motor Controller Soldering Done OpenCV ran successfully locally Set up GPU instance Read more…
Progress In week 9, we tested web communication portion and was able to send a command from the web app to control the IR circuit. I had some progress with development in the motion and dynamics portion of the project. Firstly, I have started soldering the motor driver according to Read more…
Progress In week 8, I had progress with the IR circuit development. Currently, by leveraging the LIRC API, the IR circuitry can successfully control the Vizio TV, signifying the completion of the IR circuitry portion. In the meantime, we tested the range of IR diodes and its field of view. We found Read more…
Progress In week 7, I had progress with the design document while Max delivered an amazing design presentation. Our meeting agenda from last Sunday is of the following: 1. Presentation Preparation Tying loose ends together Tentative mock presentation 2. Finish Design Document Group Reading session Cross Read other members’ section Read more…
Progress In week 6, design document, design review presentation and hardware implementation have been followed up with lots of progress. For the design document, I have finished all of my specified sections, including making an electrical schematic for the entire system in Eagle. (My very first time to complete a design Read more…
Progress In week 5, two things have been unfolded in parallel. For the design document, I started the design document in laTeX following IEEE format. Edited the format and template and contents hierarchy in the way that aligns with the course requirement. Drafted an abstract and introduction for the entire Read more…
Progress In week 4, my objective is to deliver the proposal document, presentation, and finalizing a Gantt Chart for the entire project with the help of our team. For the proposal document, we defined the use cases, scenarios and flow charts, initial sketch for physical form, requirements, technical challenges, Solution approaches, Testing, Read more…
Progress In week 3, my objective is to elaborate on the idea of IR MAN into a more concrete shape. I drafted a one-page abstract of the project for submission. I also created a digital sketch of our final IR MAN shape. Schedule Finished tasks on time. Deliverables Next Week Read more…
Progress In week 2, my objective is brainstorm ideas for this capstone project. We came up with a list of ideas we would like to explore on: Gesture controlled drone: difficult to demo Smart IoT IR Universal Control Hub IOT hidden camera AR visualization stuff: localization Indoor SMART dead reckoning: Read more…
