This week, I made some small touches to the front end. These involved working on the user interface and workflow of the application. Currently, there are a lot of pop ups that the user has to click through in order to save all of the information related to a circuit. We have decided to make it similar to Quartus in a way- We create a project folder upfront, and then save circuits / project files without the user explicitly defining where each file goes. This way, it’s less of a hassle for the user to use our application.
We also had our reading discussion for chapters 3 and 4 of the Pentium Chronicles book. I really enjoyed this, although I think chapters 1 and 2 were more relatable to our current project.
This week, I spent a majority of my time building booth / enjoying carnival. As a result, I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped. I plan on pressing a lot harder next week. We ideally want to finish the whole project and leave time for user tests, so next week will be extremely important.
