This week we worked on the design review as well as got a lot of work done on the software and hardware side of things. We are trying to stay flexible since we know a lot of the hardware may change based on the feedback we receive, but generally we have a good go ahead to work on the software.
We created a survey that we may want to change later on, but it gives us a more quantitative way to measure comfort and ease of use. We also have a preliminary schematic for our board, but we know it is very likely to change after our feedback. There are also other potential changes to wire routing that may make it easier on the software side of things.
Here below is linked the Survey we made, which is also likely to change based on our feedback, but it gives us a good idea of how were going to measure quantitatively.
In terms of schedule, we are ahead on the hardware side of things. This is mainly to make it easier once we get feedback to change our design quickly if needed. Since we cant get feedback until after the design review from the Professor in HCI, we need to stay flexible and be willing to change things, so being comfortable with Eagle well beforehand is very useful. On the Software side of things we are also on schedule.
