Work Completed:
We worked on the design presentation, finalized the division of sections among team members, and discussed specific implementation details for the system. We also set up the Flask GitHub repository and decided to start a new project on GitHub rather than using the forked Veremin repo, ensuring a cleaner and more maintainable codebase moving forward. We implemented live video streaming on our app and integrated MediaPipe with Open CV. Further, we ordered the hardware parts that we needed for our project.
Risks and Contingency Plans:
One major risk is that the ESP32 could short the IMU, which would prevent proper sensor readings. If this occurs, we plan to order a replacement IMU immediately. To mitigate this, we will double-check all wiring and use protective resistors before powering the full circuit.
Design Changes:
The main change made this week was switching to the new GitHub project setup. This was necessary to avoid inherited dependency issues and to better manage version control as the project grows. This would also avoid the fact that some of our project designs are different from the veremin setup. The cost of this change is primarily in setup time, but it improves long-term maintainability and collaboration efficiency.
Schedule Updates:
No changes have been made to the existing schedule. All milestones remain on track, and the next major deliverable is completing the design presentation.
