Week 4 Status Report – Chris Reed

Early in the week I worked on our Design Review paper along with my teammates. I also completed my ethics assignment.

I worked on putting together our finalized Solidworks model of the Shuffler/Dealer that Mark and I designed. We are going to go into production of our prototype once break is over, now that we see how our parts all fit together. There is a picture below.

Since we needed to focus on the Design Review and other classes before break began, Eric and I did not get to encoding our cards yet. I did, however, apply all of the RFID stickers to one full deck of cards so that they will be ready to go once we have the code to write on the tags.

I had to modify my schedule a little bit since we could not encode our deck of cards this week. But this does not affect the schedule that much, because once we have the cards encoded that aspect of the project will be completed. Since next week is Spring Break, we built in some slack time into our schedule. Once we get back, we’ll be encoding the deck of cards and testing those, as well as starting to build our shuffler/dealer.
