Progress I unfortunately was not able to work on capstone as much as I would have liked this week, because I was really busy with projects due in my three other classes. The last one of them is due tomorrow, so after that I will be working on the final paper and assisting with the demo as much as I can, since I don’t have the physical tiles with me. Functions are as developed as last week, and my group…
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). After more hours of debugging and redesigning the firmware and protocol, it finally works. Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule? Behind schedule. We will make…
Risks No additional risks. Changes No changes. Schedule Embedded: Eric and Melodee will need to fix the one remaining firmware bug. Tile Enclosures: Eric and Melodee will need to finish constructing all the tile enclosures. Circuits: Eric and Melodee will need to finish soldering the remaining PCBs. Eric will need to create a master tile. GUI/Interpreter: No additional changes.
Progress I unfortunately was not able to work on capstone as much as I would have liked this week, because I was really busy with two projects from other classes. What Eric and I managed to accomplish was fix the reflective sensor reading bug (pad readings didn’t always update between compilations) and refactor the firmware in an attempt to fix the communication bug. Refactoring improved the accuracy of our communication tremendously, but we still have an edge case that only…
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). Made 8 complete codeblox tiles. Integrated with Aarohi’s code. Found out that our firmware is fundamentally too slow and had to redo the communication layer to operate within timer interrupt handlers to ensure that deadlines would not be missed. Spent sooooo many…
Progress This week I worked on three major things. We had our demo on Wednesday, during which I realized that the interpreter doesn’t throw errors in many cases: for example, when a single “<” symbol was the only tile, or if I had a nonsense statement such as “if print”. My first task of the week was therefore to comb through the interpreter and throw errors wherever possible. Almost all of these were new syntax errors. Then, I worked on…
Progress Early this week, Eric and I debugged the firmware to the point that it was demoable for our Wednesday demo. There were still a few bugs we had to fix, however, that led to the compilation working correctly around 50% of the time (sometimes, tiles would report incorrect encodings, and other times, some tiles would be missing in the final topology). We spent the rest of the week trying to fix the bugs. We have yet to get the…
Risks No additional risks. Changes No changes. Schedule Embedded: Eric and Melodee will need to fix the one remaining firmware bug. Tile Enclosures: Eric and Melodee will need to finish constructing all the tile enclosures. Circuits: Eric and Melodee will need to finish soldering the remaining PCBs. GUI/Interpreter: Aarohi is good to go for the GUI Interpreter from the MVP point of view, but she will continue looking at a more interactive GUI, and function implementation.
Risks No additional risks. Changes No changes. Schedule Embedded: The only thing left to do is to debug the firmware, once we have more tiles constructed. Tile Enclosures: Eric and Melodee are in the process of gluing the wood pieces together. Circuits: Eric and Melodee are in the process of soldering all of the PCBs. GUI/Interpreter: Everything is on schedule with the GUI and Interpreter. Aarohi has a version ready for the final demo, and is working on another version…
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). Finished the firmware. Still need to test some edge cases, but we are waiting for more tiles to do that. Cut out all the wood for the enclosures. Fully assembled two Codeblox’s. Are currently assembling and soldering more. Is your progress on…
