- 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?
The most significant risk right now is the integration process, and the most important link is the radio transmission between gloves and the receiving module. If we met problem with the radio transmission, we will go to search for online tutorial and follow the instruction to solve the problem. We might also ask our TA for help. We don’t think we have any backup plan if it doesn’t work. As a contingency plan, we will have to resort to a wired connection to send angle information from the gloves to the receiving module.
- Were any changes made to the existing design of the system? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
There are no design changes to the system.
- Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
So far there is no major update on our current schedule. Although our DigiKey order hasn’t arrived yet, the major components have arrived (radio and gyroscope IC). Hence, our design process is still on schedule.
- Component you got working.
You can now control the the volume of the synthesizer with the pitch angle of the gyroscope chip. Here is a demo video.
