What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week was spent heavily on getting our project ready for our interim demo the previous Monday. I was focussing on moving the website from being local on Seaver’s laptop to available on the internet with a real web address. This was fairly time consuming, as it took some time to find a platform that would allow for free web hosting, while also being manageable to use. We decided to use pythonanywhere.com since it allowed for easy migration with our Django backend. The rest of my time was spent helping CJ work out the kinks of the lidar ball detection.
As for the rest of the week, I spent more time working on React to develop a front end for our WebApp, and I also spent time developing a logo for the team to be displayed on our site.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I believe our schedule is on track at this point. We need to buckle down this week and fully integrate our IMU, but once that gets accomplished I believe the rest of this project will be smooth sailing.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope to have a live front end available to be seen by the end of next week. I also hope to have the bluetooth of the IMU be fully integrated into the webapp as well.
Now that you are entering into the verification and validation phase of your project, provide a comprehensive update on what tests you have you run or are planning to run. In particular, how will you analyze the anticipated measured results to verify your contribution to the project meets the engineering design requirements or the use case requirements?
We have set goals for LIDAR accuracy, and to test them we can roll a golf ball, read the measurement of distance from hole on the WebApp, and then verify that measurement using a tape measurer, checking if we are within 3cm of the measured distance. Another (trickier) test to handle is that of the IMU. We have ideas to either record video of us striking a ball with a putter, or simply timing a certain roll distance to then extrapolate our many measurements we are taking, and then comparing those to our expected results, checking to see if we are within our margin of error.
