What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files orphotos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficienteffort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours). Last week, I spent a lot of time catching up on tasks that I Read more…
This week I got our pm sensor up and working with output that seemed to make sense. Additionally I got out GPS module up and running with accurate reports of its location. Also I have gotten the servos that will actuate the air dams working. Finally I have gotten our Read more…
This week, I finished a second iteration of the Visor’s sensor cavity and main body 3D models. For the sensor cavity, I included the outer casing for the intake, expanded the size to accomodate the sensors since the first iteration was too small, and started working on creating lids. For Read more…
This week, we did a bit of testing with the constructed prototypes. The printed sensor box is a bit too small to house the sensors in the way we want it to, but we should be able to get a lot of mileage out of this prototype for testing. I Read more…
A possible risk is that we are too late in the construction of the Visor that testing is pushed back. This could happen due to delays piling up in various parts of the project progression and pushing back our schedule. To manage this risk, we have been working on other Read more…
This week the primary task was working on the design report. I primarily worked on the Test, Verification, and Validation, Project Management, Related Work, and Summary sections. I also wrote the sections on air quality sensor selection and how the software that will be collecting data from the sensors will Read more…
What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files orphotos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficienteffort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours). Last week, most of my effort was spent over writing the Design Report. I Read more…
What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files orphotos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort in to the project over the course of the week (12+ hours). This week, I presented the Design Presentation on Monday. Also on Monday, we met with Sofia from BU who made a similar project to us for advice. Then, we met Professor Michael Taylor in the CS department who has expertise in low cost air quality sensors Read more…
This week, our parts arrived and we were able to continue to make progress on the hardware side of our project. Our team met with both Sofiya Filippova, who worked on a project similar to ours during her time at BU, and Professor Michael Taylor, whose thesis was on low cost air Read more…
A possible risk is that our custom PCB breaking out the mini PCIe pins from the LoRaWAN gateway does not work. This could happen because either the manufacturing of the PCB was faulty, or the design of the PCB causes too much interference/noise that affects the signals negatively. To manage Read more…
