Jeff’s Status Report for 4/1

Personal Progress

This week I was able not able to fully assemble the blinds because I can’t install the blinds into my bedroom due to my lease and tried to find solutions. I’ve considered plywood, pvc pipes, cardboard, and other ways to build a frame but because I’m not allowed into the woodwork area and lack of power tools, we settled with command strips. After placing the order for the command strips, I manually held up the blinds to test if it will work and what is the rate the blinds can move. I also helped Dianne and Elizabeth in software testing and integration.

I am current still behind on schedule because of the issue detailed above. There is no real way to adjust the schedule since the arrival of the command strip is outside our control and can only shorten testing period.

Plans for Next Week

If the command strips arrive by next week, I will begin full integrated testing in real environment. In the meantime I will help test software accuracy and think of other temporary measures to enable earlier full system testing.
