I also began a trade study for an SD card reader that did not lead anywhere because of the design change.<\/p>\n<p>I created a <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/JBas\/18500-Capstone\">GitHub repo<\/a> so that code sharing and versioning control could be made easier, but right now it just contains the optimization code.<\/p>\n<p>I made the system block diagram that is seen on our <a href=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s20-teame1\/2020\/02\/21\/team-status-update-for-week-of-2-16\/\">Team Status Update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I also designed a first-pass power regulation and protection circuit for the RPI Shield (special thanks to 18220, and my eyes for reading the RPI3B+ datasheet and HAT specs). We need protection because new version of the RPI have removed the fuses on the GPIO pins.<\/p>\n<h6>Am I Behind?:<\/h6>\n<p>I would say that I am behind because the team in general is behind. Because we changed our design late into the Design Phase, we have had to quickly re-refine our requirements, redo our trade studies, and quickly communicate our understand to each other, and I don&#8217;t know if we have efficiently done that. However, I believe that once the Design Review is finished, we will be on track to put in our part orders.<\/p>\n<h6>Goals for the Upcoming Week:<\/h6>\n<p>I get to head up the Design Presentation! Also, I need to order parts required by the RPI Shield.\u00a0I also need to start laying out the Shield schematic, as well as writing the code that parses the g-code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What I Did: Because of our design change late in the week, a lot of the details I did during the week became irrelevant.
