What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, our team put in the orders for most of our design parts.
In terms of personal accomplishment, the progress was a bit slower because we took longer to put in our order. Instead of focusing on connecting the physical components, I started looking into constructing the recommender system and the on system app for the user interface. With siena’s list of skin care products and the outputted classification/confidence from Isaiah’s ml work, I started working on the recommender system.
I also looked into creating our on system app to display on the mirror. Both the recommender system and the on system app are in progress, but I hope to be able to have a mock display by next week.
I also thought it would be best to modify our CAD next week when we do get all our components and finalize our physical design.
Finally, we also spent time drafting our design report and working on the diagrams that will be added to our report.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
My progress is slightly behind because we didn’t receive the parts except the camera and the board. However, because we are using a touch screen instead of the SPI LCD, we don’t need to spend much time on the communication between the RPI and the LCD but need to focus on creating the on-system app. This can be done without the LCD. I wouldn’t say we’re too behind, we just changed our schedule to focus on a different side of the project.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I would like to have code running for the recommendation system and to see if I can create a small mock app for our LCD.
