Missing microSD reader, preventing Pi OS installation through the Pi Imager
SSH connection issues due to the wired ethernet network being different from CMU Secure wireless
Successfully imaged Pi OS onto the microSD card and completed initial configuration at home before bringing the Pi back to campus, which resolved network issues
Parts Procurement
Ordered off the shelf components listed in the BOM
Currently waiting for parts to arrive before verifying part dimensions and fabricating laser cut mounting plates
Design Report and Research
Worked on Design Report sections covering use case and requirement justifications
Found IEEE Xplore papers related to anomaly detection to reference for style and technical wording in the Design Report
Schedule & Progress
Currently slightly behind schedule due to:
Waiting for hardware parts to arrive before starting laser cut fabrication
Delays in Pi 5 setup and network access during initial configuration
Next Steps
Begin laser cut fabrication once parts (specifically the pump) arrive
Continue 3D printing remaining brackets and verify fits
Start Pi 5 to Pico UART code development
Finish Design Report as soon as possible to get feedback
