John Paul Harriman’s Status Report for 3/28/2020

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).

I was able to start actually implementing our code!

I did a lot more research into what exact error correcting codes that we could use for our defined packet model. I’ve been going deep into this rabbit whole of which one is the best to use so hopefully next week I can start connecting the dots between all of them. I wrote the code for defined packet generation with a new model.

This model helps us gain easier access to verification by storing it in a struct because we now don’t have to pass all of our data through the specific wires and can focus on correction/detection and protocol handling.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?


I personally think we’re catching up, but still have a lot to do. If we can start getting algorithms down for correction/detection then we can have a successful project.

I’m going to do my part now which is gathering all the different algorithms and hopefully link up with my teammates over the next week.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Deliverables for next week are the Reed Solomon algorithm and others for the defined packet length to be completed in C, but without the additional component interactions.

I kind of switched my paths halfway through so I’m going to keep these goals.
