This week, I helped update Tate on the sensor placement design, and helped him prepare for the design presentation by providing feedback on points he missed or needed to include during practice runs of the presentation. I also helped solder the wires used in the load sensors, and soldered the header pins onto the load sensor module. At a team meeting to test all of the sensors, I brought a bag of recyclables that included the different materials we needed to use to test all of the sensors (like metal cans, glass bottles, recyclable plastics, and paper cartons). I helped test some of the sensors by placing some of these objects close to each sensor. As of this week, all of the sensors except the load sensors were tested. I also started writing a rough draft with the key points of our classifier design and design requirements for the design report.
My progress is on schedule.
I hope to have the final draft of the classifier design (with a detailed software spec) in the design report next week, and start building the model for the image classifier.
