Accomplishments
- Parts Procurement: Ordered all major off the shelf components from the BOM
- Waiting for deliveries before starting fabrication of laser cut plates
- Raspberry Pi Setup: Began setting up the Raspberry Pi 5 for UART communication with the Pi Pico and sensor data collection
- Resolved hardware and network setup issues and completed initial Pi OS configuration
- Design Report and Research: Continued progress on the Design Report, refining use case and design requirements and supporting them with relevant sources
Significant Risks
- Dependency on off the shelf parts for fabrication: Same as last week, cannot finalize or fabricate custom mounting plates until we have real parts to verify mounting hole dimensions
- Plan to begin fabrication immediately upon receiving parts to stay on track
Design Changes
- No major design changes this week. Block diagram and CAD assembly finalized last week
Schedule Changes
- Schedule remains on track at this point but may need adjustment next week depending on actual part arrival times
