What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
1 – Working on Implementing Bluetooth Module
Although I had not fully finished creating the custom design control widgets for the application, this week I switched my focus to working on the code required for BLE communication to prepare for integration over the next couple of weeks. This involved running some tests with apple’s CoreBluetooth code to determine the best way to configure my code, what functions & classes I would need for our project etc. I also started writing the main code module that will contain all the core logic for the bluetooth functions.
2 – Working on outer enclosure
This week I also started making some progress on the design for the casing of our earring. I worked on developing a basic CAD model for a square shaped case with the following constraints -> button to allow the user to turn the device on/off, attachment for a CR2032 battery, compartment to fully enclose the PCB & prevent user access/tampering. As the user will need to replace / charge the coin battery, we have decided to also design an outer decorative casing, separate from the PCB compartment that will attach the device to the ear. This outer casing will contain a hinge and lock system that the user will be able to open to access the battery.
3 – Working on Final presentation
I was assigned to present for our group this week, so I also spent a lot of time preparing the slides.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
As I was working on the slides this week, I did not make as much progress as possible. I am planning on simplifying the application so I can focus on testing and finalising the core functionalities
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week I hope to have the Bluetooth code working so I can focus on testing and integration.
