What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours.
This week I received a couple of items, the LED light to get better consistency when scanning clothing, and more importantly, the Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX. One thing that I found was that to properly boot up the Xavier NX, a couple of additional materials were needed. A USB-Keyboard, HDMI Cable, a spare Monitor, and a 16GB SD card. The first 3 additional materials are easily acquired as we can make use of the computer labs along with our own supplies. However, we did not have an SD card capable of flashing the Xavier NX, so I promptly ordered one. We are still waiting for this SD card and the camera, so I was unable to start the physical boot up process. In the meantime, I worked on the design report and presentation, as it is upcoming. Additionally, I did a fair bit of research on the Xavier NX to try and determine what else I would need so I would be caught off guard again. Using resources such as the starting guide, the Jetpack SDK, the User Guide, the Developer Guide, and many more, I determined that an Ubuntu 22.04 Linux environment would lead to the least complications when using OpenCV and other modules on the Xavier NX. To do this, I downloaded VMWare and created a workstation with the requirements above. I chose not to use WSL because of the complications that can and have arisen when dealing with peripherals on my computer with WSL. Below is a small picture of the workstation. 
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the proiect schedule?
My progress is slightly behind, I hoped to be able to flash and boot up the Xavier NX this week, but I misjudged which materials were needed and am now waiting on the SD card to arrive. It was ordered with Amazon Prime so the delay should not be overwhelming, and as soon as I get that item, I will start the process next week. To catch up to the project schedule, next week I will also work on getting the required modules and development environment of the Xavier NX set up, beyond simply booting it up.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope to turn on the Xavier NX, download the required software and modules onto it, and run basic programs using the Xavier NX. I believe this should be possible but time consuming given the intricacies and unexpected issues that often crop up in installation and set-up.
Status Report: Slightly Behind but manageable
