Vikram’s Status Report for 11/5
Posted by : vtm500 Vikram's Status Reports

This week, we worked on preparing for the interim demo. For my part of the project, the interim demo involves getting a correct board state (piece color and position) using the sensors and the firmware. Patrick and I spent many hours debugging and testing the system. The current state is that the board can detect most squares correctly, but there are still a few that are incorrect. We will be debugging the rest of this tomorrow in preparation for the demo.

In terms of progress, hardware progress is on the edge of being a bit late, but assuming we finish debugging the last few issues tomorrow, we should be back on track. If debugging extends, we will be pushing into a bit of testing and slack time. However, the debugging tests do involve some of the tests for accuracy, precision, and power use. Therefore, we may be ticking off other items at the same time.

In the next week, I hope to fully integrate the hardware with the firmware and software.

Ryan’s Status Report for 11/5
Posted by : ryg500 Ryan's Status Reports

This week I focused on preparing for the project demos that are to come next week. There were a couple concessions we had to make in order to build our MVP by the project demos. The first concession that we had to make was to acknowledge that we were going to be unable to pair the chessboard with the website before the project demos. Nevertheless, the chessboard and the ability to sense piece movement as well as the website will be completed individually before the project demos.

The website is mostly functional, but at times is buggy (and sometimes missing pieces). As a result, my goal this week was to round out the rough corners of the website (fixing bugs, looking the website look semi-polished, and finishing exportation). As a result then, my website is ready to be seen for the demo!

We are on track to finish the entire project on time, and I will use the additional time to put finishing touches on the website (and possibly deploy it, although the environment of the final demo will determine this).
