Matthew Kuczynski’s Status Report for 3/19

This past week, I began working on the finger detection algorithms, which were explained in some depth in the design review report. This is somewhat difficult without being able to physically test, so this is mostly a framework for now. Additionally, I began integrating my portion of the software with Darwin’s, which is combining subsystems B & C from the report. Next week, I plan to work on the frame design and continue the integration of the two software systems. Additionally, I will work with the rest of the team on the PCB when it arrives, which should be soon. The majority of the work that I still need to contribute individually on this project involves tuning the detection algorithms through physical testing. So far, I feel that I am on schedule, but I will need the PCB to complete most of the work that still needs to be done.
