This week I have been focusing on the physical representation of our project. The 3-D printed box didn’t print with the correct dimensions and we need to reconfigure how we want everything to look like. Currently it is still being worked out and the final touches are being put together. Read more…
This week checked off a lot of boxes. We were able to integrate the backend python code for the nano with the camera. I created a small script for the camera to work, so Sean was able to take my key helper functions and be able to restructure his functions Read more…
For this week we were able to finally get our camera up and running. We had some difficultly with the Nvidia cameras however we ended up going with a Ras Pi Camera v2, because there were much more resources on how to work the camera and clear instruction videos. This Read more…
For this week since I had the nano and I set it up last week I focused on deployment. I wanted to make sure we had the untrained models up and running for once we do train them. I was able to install pytorch and openCV. Then there was an Read more…
This week were able to get a new SD card order in which expedited our physical component process. This was very important to us and is a crucial part of our overall design. I got the Nano and accessories from Nathan to start on the hardware setup. I was able Read more…
Since I am in charge of the system and hardware side of this project its been a bit hard to get the ball rolling since we couldn’t yet flash the board. Since it needs a minimum of 32gb microSD. Even so I was able to review the necessary steps once Read more…
For this week my team and I really focused on the Design Report. We wanted to include all of the research and resources we previously compiled to make the most of our report. We also used the feedback we got from our presentation to tweak our design implementation. I focused Read more…
For this week the largest part was preparing for the design review. As a team we created a document to discuss the specific features we want and how we want to finalize the CNN. I also helped with starting off the slides so once we have as much research to Read more…
This week we were able to focus on the input we got back from our professors. Specifically since we got the green light for our hardware, I was able to look more into OpenCV, multithreading, and how video recording would work. I really focused on reading up about recording uses Read more…
For this week I was able to do more research on the Jetson Nano. I wanted to ensure I had a clear understanding of how to interact with the microcontroller for both the camera use and the LED use. I looked into the schematic of the GPIO pins, for the Read more…
