This week we were in the phase of ordering componets for the system. Orders were placed for magets, hall effect sensors, and a Nvida Jetson. We were approved for all, and I picked up the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano board. I am currently in the process of drawing out the block diagrams for both the system and software level. I have the first iterations of these ready, and the fully formed diagram will be ready before our slides submission. I have also been in the process of finding an affordable camera that is compatible with Jetson MIPI Camera Connectors. I will need to do some testing with the board to see wheter the 40 pin expansion header or USB interfaces are best suitable for interfacing the sensors/PCB. My current plan is to use the 40 pin header for the actual PCB and USB for the speaker. I also have downloaded and prepared the Jetson specific ISO USB for starting to work with the board. I want to have all of this completed sometime next week. Also below are current iterations of the block diagrams (first system level, then software flow diagram).
Our weekly meeting with Professor Yu was also productive. We got insight of how we should formulate our design slides, as well as discussing the instructor feedback from the proposal slides. The most significant feedback was to nail down the use case and technical requirements because some of the requirments we listed in the proposal were too vauge.
