Ethan:
What did I do this week.
This week I continued work on the networking and routing stack. The network stack was started last week, and I stayed in Pitts to work over vacation. I implemented portions of ICMP6, network interface management and back-ported the virtual drivers onto the esp32. They were previously only targeted for osx. This allowed for rapid development and debugging. The code now cane compiled for either the esps32 driver, or the osx virtual driver interface. This dual architecture support is what will underpin our later hybrid virtual/physical mesh adversarial testing models.
The goal for this week is to continue to iterate on networking functions, and build a UDP based music stream for our demo on April 1st.
Michaela:
This week I mainly worked on the enclosure. Initially during the week, I worked to finish my Ethics assignment and respond after our section discussion. I then created the model we will 3D print in CAD. An image is included below. The dimensions for the oval prism were included in my previous post, but I also created a band of about 32cm, which is the average length of all of my teammates top left ear to right ear going across the top of the head. This way, we can appropriately test a solid fit over our heads. We plan to have this 3D printed for our demo. Next week I plan to work having a Python implementation of the noise cancellation system in place so that we can having an example prepared to also include for the demo.

Winston:
This week I finished the schematics, which passed all our SPICE simulation tests and produced a BOM within budget.
Excerpts of Simulation Results:
I will finish the layout by Monday morning and will work on firmware (e.g. drivers for our chipset) henceforth.
We, as a team, has discussed the adjustments necessary to catch up with the massive delays in hardware design.
Team:
In terms of team work, we have a large discussion about our current schedule. We went over with each other what we have left to do, what we all were currently doing, and our goals for the coming weeks in relation to our own and each others work.
Our previous issue with the PCB has been slightly mitigated as the design is complete and we are prepared to support each other in the coming weeks to all get the hardware working.
