Gram’s Status Report for 04/22/23

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files orphotos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).

I configured the compute module to automatically start the system on startup, since a bug in the earlier configuration caused the program to keep crashing on startup.

I improved the gesture classification model to become more robust against random noise that was being collected by the sensors. I also addressed an edge case in the gesture classification model where pan/rotate gestures weren’t being detected if they rotated slightly while panning or panned slightly while rotating.

I also sewed 10 cloth straps onto the gloves to hold the flex sensors in place. However, after putting this together and trying it with the glove module, we discovered that it wasn’t providing enough tension for the flex sensors to pick up. I experimented with using rubber bands and tape as alternative attachment schemes and will likely stick with tape for now.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

Progress is a bit behind since there were a lot of hiccups with integration, but since the integration is pretty much done, we can get started with testing this week after our presentation.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

I plan to work on the demo presentation slides and finish testing our system.
