This week was spent mostly on design review. To start off the week, I helped put together the slides for our design review presentation, and then practiced the slides and eventually gave the presentation in class. I also got to listen to a bunch of awesome design reviews from other teams! I then reached out to some previous capstone students about using a similar battery to ours before placing the order for two batteries, one which we will test with and another (smaller) one for our demo. Finally, I got started on our design report which is due at the end of next week.<\/p>\n
I am about on schedule, pending the status of our parts being delivered, as I initially planned on having a full design completed and all parts ordered and in hand by Spring Break. The only hardware that has yet to be ordered is a voltage converter stepping up to 5V and stepping down to 3.3V, however I don’t anticipate choosing one to take that long.<\/p>\n
Next week, in addition to getting a voltage converter ordered, I will be spending most of my time writing up the design review report, including incorporating any feedback from the presentation which we may receive next week. After a nice break and when everything has arrived, I’m excited to start wiring everything together and playing with the sensors!<\/p>\n
