This week, I adjusted the inserts of the main Visor body to fit the basket more flush. I also condensed the sensor cavity because the top opening just needed to accomodate the mounted sensors. Because the sensor cavity combined with the main body was too big for the printer 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 I preformed some data collection integration tests where I sat outside of Hammerschlag Hall collecting data and ensuring that all of the formatting requirements for further down the pipeline are being meet along with ensuring that our data collection script doesn’t have any other issues. Building on the Read more…
This past week, I worked on designing, modeling, and constructing the air dam prototypes. The designing took a bit of time because while we were adapting an existing 3d model for the rack and pinion system, we needed to keep a few things in mind. The servos have a maximum 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, I spent time working on the website backend, setting up Docker, the Read more…
This week I was able to read from all of our sensors when they were integrated all together. While system compatibility was paramount when selecting components to see all of the sensors having no communication conflicts, library issues, or other problems when integrated together is a relief. Once these integration 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…
