I worked on putting the demo together to show our project progress.
I constructed the jacket with all of the essential components we aimed for, the LED matrix, buzzers, and vibration motors. The Arduino nano on the jacket was the microcontroller for all actions, and it received instructions via Bluetooth.
After some basic testing, we did a full wireless test, and got the jacket to work as expected. We did not permanently glue or sew anything directly on the jacket yet, because we wanted to gather feedback from our demo first.
For future steps, I will have to finish constructing the jacket, and make sure all the connections stay in as expected. I might also have to consider printing out a small case for the circuitry, since having exposed wires is potentially dangerous.
For next week, we are planning to mount all the LIDAR and ultrasonic sensors onto the bike. I am starting to design some mounting templates for these devices.
