What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, we had to focus a lot on the design report. I wrote the abstract, introduction, user-case requirements, design requirements, and the hardware side of the design trade studies. I realized that we didn’t include design trade studies in our design presentation, and included tables in the design report to visualize our reasonings behind our component choices.
For implementation, this week has been the slowest. I am still waiting on my LCD display to connect it to the RPI. Although I did some research on the app and recommender system last week, I realized that there needs to be more planning on the software side to really integrate the button -> camera -> ml model -> recommender system -> app. Therefore, I changed directions to set up the Raspberry pi and learn the different libraries for an easier integration.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
My progress is behind. I am planning to ramp up the pace after break. The software integration needs more planning, and I will discuss with Siena and Isaiah after break to combine the software sections.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
While planning and gradually combining the software side, I’m hoping that the rpi will be set up with basic components connected (button/display). Hopefully I can test the basic connections with a mock app or just python code.
