Our team has been meeting in Hammerschlag very frequently. Previously we were working synchronously on the same aspects of the system together. To improve efficiency we decided to work in parallel on separate aspects of the system, which has worked well. I focused on the motion tracking all week, and was able to write a script that will be sufficient for our demo next week. I also worked on the serial communication between the Raspberry Pi and the PC. I ran into a number of problems in doing so, but later realized the voltage of my laptop’s USB port was greater than what the Raspberry Pi expected, and after using a different computer it worked correctly.
We caught up significantly this week, and are roughly back on schedule. The remainder of the semester will be dedicated to further improving our MVP system.
Coming up this next week we are meeting again before the demo to finalize our system and test it. We do not plan to meet during Carnival.
