Progress In week 14, I had progress in figuring out the final bit of servo arm control, mechanical integration/strengthening, painting IR Man and extensively testing IR Man against the requirements and metrics. I was painting the IR Man with the Iron Man color over the break and the result of Read more…
Progress In week 13, I had progress in manufacturing all the mechanical parts for the IR Man, rotating base, chassis, and mount. I also benchmark tested the CV device locator pipeline with Shirley. The IR Man figurine is successfully printed on Stratsys 3D printer and the finish is great. While Read more…
Progress In week 12, I had progress in integrating all the electrical stuff by capturing and soldering all components to a PCB board. In addition, I worked with Max in mechanical integration. The IR Man Arm was printed in PLA. And I have concept proven with driving the motion of Read more…
Progress In week 11, I had progress in recording the IR Code for the IR Audio Amplifier and the IR Disco LED lights. In addition, we successfully did our interim demo, showcasing our current progress on IRMAN development. Shirley and I have also tested on image transmission and the image Read more…
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, 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…
