This week, I worked on getting our project proposal presentation ready and researching some of the justifications for our metrics. Since I am assigned to work on the vibration device for our project, I found a couple tutorials (links listed below) for using a Grove Vibration motor with a Raspberry Pi. Going through these tutorials, I tried to assess the code and see the basis of what I will have to do in order to create a successful vibration device. I do not have much experience with RPi, so I will be researching similar tutorials to begin planning the design. I was able to also find a circuitio page that shows how to properly connect the vibration motor to the RPi, so I believe this will help when we begin constructing the project.
I would say that the group is on schedule. We have discussed our plans following the proposal presentation and have reassessed some of our design plans which we wish to discuss during our meeting on Monday. We also wish to begin ordering supplies at the beginning of this week to truly begin working on the project. As for my own progress, I would say that my progress is slightly behind schedule. I spent some time researching, but I hoped to put in more time this week. To catch up, I will spend the next couple of days focusing my efforts on researching and preparing for the design report.
In the next week, I hope to have the design report and presentation ready fairly early so we can focus on editing as needed. I will be giving the Design Presentation, so I will be spending time practicing to ensure that everything goes smoothly and that our research is solid to justify our design and metrics.
