What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week I built the circuit with our RGB matrix and tested it first using basic Arduino demos. I also worked through some Bluetooth examples for the STM32WB using Zephyr, which is the software that my 349 TA showed us. I also spent a good amount of time laying out the basic schematic for our PCB using the Nucleo board’s design for reference. However, since the Nucleo board has far more subsystems and functionality than we require, I have had a little difficulty in understanding which sections of the power management circuitry I need to integrate into my design, and which of the many STLINK programming options I need to add. I hope to clear these questions up in our meeting with Professor Nace on Wednesday.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We were a bit behind schedule due to issues working with the STM board, but this week Shize and I will meet with Professor Nace to finalize our PCB design and try to get some basic patterns working with STM control.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
This week I will work with Shize to make sure the circuit works properly with the STM32 and finish out the PCB design.
