This week for me, my work focus has shifted from electronics to 3D modeling. I have measured all the components and made rough models of them. The next step is to design an enclosure and stuff everything inside. So far on schedule.
For testing, first of all the electronics are on a piece of breadboard and functionalities can be tested. During interim demo this has already been done. Second of all, the 3d printed enclosure will be test fitted and any modifications can be made easily. After the whole assembly is complete, the battery life will be tested by keeping it connected to the computer for a long time and record time. The controls will be tested by seeing raw input values in the game and comparing that to our desired values. If anything is not working as expected, we either have the member responsible to make changes, or declare the design feature a failure.
