Note: Our team has compressed our images and videos, but the media upload quota is still full, so this report does not have photos that we would have liked to attach.
A lot has gone on over the past two weeks. I created a frame for mounting the battery, and we conducted full system testing, verifying that the servo actuations and data collection were working properly on a moving bike.
We had focused on collecting data so that we could populate the website with our SNIFF collected data. In parallel, I also sealed gaps in the CF-PLA version of the visor with modeling paste and glue. We had designed this version to also accomodate rubber gaskets, which we installed. We weather tested this version of the visor, and it passed our weather testing, performing much better than our other visor version.
Regarding the data collection, it went well for the first few rides, but the mounting failed during Jaehyun’s testing in suboptimal conditions outside (cold enough to cause the sensors to not read accurate data and for the zipties to become easier to break). While the visor broke, luckily the internals were unharmed so we were able to move the electronics over to the CF-PLA version of the visor.
We ended up doing a few more tests with this version of the visor. We were a bit more cautious about mounting failure with demo day just around the corner, so we ended up driving around in a car to test air quality with the visor instead of mounting it onto a POGOH bike.
Next week we plan to write the final report. It is also demo day. I hope we do well…
