Clarence’s Status Report for 10/17

Accomplish

This week (mainly the week before Fall Break), I worked a lot on our Design Review Report which we’ll talk more about in our Team Status Report. Personally, I picked up all of our ordered components from the ECE Receiving office and began soldering together our ESP32 with a pin header and our LiPo battery chargers to their cables so we could begin testing. I confirmed that our ESP32-S3 is functional with some simple Arduino Example code and was able to confirm that our ESP model has the OV3660 and not the OV2440.

 

Progress/Schedule

I think we may be a little behind due to our lack of progress during this Fall Break.  However, all our components are set to be put back onto schedule with a little extra work next week. In regards to the 3D CAD, I might save that for later in the semester and focus on prioritizing ESP and firmware. However, I will start gauging rough measurements for the 3D enclosure.

Deliverables

Next week, I hope to assist Jayden and Ankita with the firmware and experimentation. In addition, I want to also start planning what we want the 3D enclosure to look like and how it’ll be attached to the hat. I also want to place orders for some caps for us to work with.
