What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
We did research on several of the weight sensors that we will be using for the putter hole part of our project. In addition, I also researched a couple of the RFID scanners and RFID tags and identified a few that could be ideal for our project. After collecting all of this info, I selected the best one that we would purchase. I then placed orders on the chosen RFID tags, RFID sensor, pressure sensor, and IMU chip that we will use in our project.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
We are currently on schedule. We identified that we can use CMUs LiDar sensors to identify an orange-sized ball. Thus, we now have a confirmed way for finding the location of the ball at all times. In addition, we also purchased the sensors we wanted for the bulk of the project. The most concerning is. the IMU because it will be inside of the “golf ball” and have to withstand strong hits. Therefore, we will need to measure how effective the IMU is in measuring orientation and spin,
If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule?
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
We will need to start working on the current software implementation for the web app while we wait for the other sensors to arrive. In addition, we need to work on finding out how we are going to build the ball. The plastic ball can be bought, but we need to make sure we can the right size. Lastly, we should identify a mechanism to hold the LiDar sensor so that it can see the right height of the ball.
