Two weeks ago, the entire focus was on writing our design document. This was an extension to our design presentation, and consumed most of our time that week. It’s attached below if you want to check it out!
Our Rev 1 PCB was delivered this past week. Adam and Xingran wrote up a test bring up plan and proceeded to test the boards in Ansys Hall. See Adam’s post for more details, but while some modules worked as expected, there were some set backs. However, this was expected, and was one reason our plan includes Rev 1 as a demo board.
Bring up of low software is now the focus for the group, especially getting the BM83 Bluetooth module to work, and creating a UI. Once we can get an audio signal to a speaker, that will be a huge success, and it’ll be even better if the user has basic control over parameters. As such, Sam is halting work on DSP effects and Xingran will be focusing on work with the BM83.
While we are deviating from our original schedule, the included slack time inhibits any real danger to our progress. The next few weeks will be pivotal to getting a MVP product, but once that is completed, the additional features can be added more easily.
