- This week, I worked on finalizing the parts list for the initial prototype of our device. I looked into the transparent LCD and speaker while Alena looked into a microphone. As a group, we decided to use a Raspberry Pi Pico W as the microcontroller for our smart glasses.
- Following these decisions, I created a Bill of Materials for the parts required in our prototyping phase.
- I also began redesigning the external casing for the glasses. The design process is on-hold until Alena and I finish the schematic and PCB design.
- The team and I also spent Sunday finalizing the presentation for our proposal. During this meeting, we set up our general deadlines for the phases of our project: Research, Prototyping, Development, and Testing. We created a Gantt chart to keep track of these deadlines.
Is your progress on schedule or behind. If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule?
- My personal progress is on schedule, but I would like to get started on the schematic design for the components and order materials listed on our parts list by early next week.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- By next week, I hope to complete the schematic of our glasses with Alena and design a PCB. Assuming we are on schedule, I hope to design a prototype casing around the newly designed PCB.
