Team Status Report for 4/29/23

List all unit tests and overall system test carried out for experimentation of the system. List any findings and design changes made from your analysis of test results and other data obtained from the experimentation.

  • Distance from Hole – Distance from hole was relatively accurate ~90% (small sample size though. Main issue was that we may have to restrict to only one ball at once for distance.
  • Club Acceleration – Acceleration seems to perform accurately ~90%. No changes were made to our system
  • Club Angle – Pretty accurate. May need to adjust for the IMUs calibration and the offset
  • Ball velocity – Surprisingly accurate. We were very pleased with the results here.
  • Ball spin – Still hard to test accuracy for this test. May have to do further analysis this week.
  • Durability – Basically dropped the ball 50 times. The chip remained intact the whole time.
  • Battery – lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hr. Which is within our ideal range.

What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?

We are finished with most of the difficult parts of our project. No real blockers currently

Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?

Currently, our design remains the same and on track, we just had to adjust the colors of the balls, so that the LiDAR can track properly.

Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.

Our schedule remains the same as the previous weeks.

CJ’s Status Report

This week was a bittersweet one as we wrapped up our final presentation.

I presented for our group and I felt as thought it went very well. We have a few remaining tasks but it was a really great feeling to present and see how far we have come from the beginning of the semester.

We have a few final tasks for the upcoming week. First, we have to anchor the hole in place along with the rest of our electrical components. Then we have to felt the green and test end to end putting with everything in place.

I spent some time this week testing the accuracy of the LiDAR further than the initial test we had planned. I wanted to verify that the webapp will update in real time while also tracking the ball and not changing too much once the ball is in place.

Shoutout to Seaver who had some big breakthroughs in the world of IMU. We were successfully able to transmit the spin rate through bluetooth using a program written to the IMU.

Overall, I th

Erik Feldmann Status Report for 04/29/2023

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).

This week I continued my focus on the front end of the WebApp. My goal was to integrate some JavaScript to allow for certain player’s data to not be shown depending on previous data inputted on the start screen. Since currently all three players data is shown regardless of how many names you enter. This proved to be harder than I expected, as my experience with JavaScript is very limited. However I am confident that I will get everything working by demo day.

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 on schedule. If needed, everything works to the point that we could demo today. However there are plenty of last minute things we would like to nail down this upcoming week.

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

I plan to complete the overhaul of the front end this week, completing successful JavaScript integration. I also plan to help finish beautifying the course. Laying out the felt, putting on some finishing touches, some supports etc.
