Carnegie Mellon ECE Capstone, Spring 2022: Angel Peprah, Judenique Auguste, Vivian Beaudoin
This week I worked on sending dummy data and then sending fingerings from buttons over Bluetooth from the Arduino Nano BLE to the Raspberry Pi. I was able to write code on the Nano to create characteristics for the fingering, and then update the value …
For the week of 2/27, our team had the design report due. My tasks for the design report were to detail the user interface sections and software implementation. Additionally, I worked with my teammates to finalize the communication based on the feedback we received from …
The week before spring break, we finished our design review report based on our feedback from our design presentation. We broke down the requirements of the design report, designated it to each group member, and assembled it throughout the week in team meetings. Following spring …
This week very frustrating when it came to working on my specific part of the project: Communication between the Arduino Nano and the Raspberry Pi. After working with the HC05 Bluetooth module more, and being unable to get to it to connect to the Pi, …
This week concluded our last presentation for a while, which was our design presentation. We are now in the process of writing our design report and splitting that work accordingly. I got to complete most of the tasks I stated last week. I set up …
This week’s work consisted of completing and sharing our design presentation. We discussed the feedback we received from our classmates during the presentation such as the feel of buttons. We also started planning and dividing up the work for the written design review. We haven’t …
This past week I began prototyping and testing some of our sensors. I soldered pins onto the gyroscope and soldered prototype ends to one of the buttons to test the process for the PVC controller. I also wired up 9 simple buttons (not the ones …
This week I worked with the team to create our design proposal slides and prepare for the presentation. We also incorporated feedback from the proposal presentations. This included tweaking some of our requirements such as the latency, which I believe can be less than half …
This week I accomplished getting caught up on my schedule. I was able to complete an initial mockup for the website and complete research on the communication between the Rpi and web app. The communication will occur through a python script on the Rpi. This …
This week we analyzed the feedback from our proposal presentation and finalized the majority of the design decisions regarding the controller. The most important piece of feedback was regarding the realism and implementation of the breath control mechanism, as it is a crucial component of …
