Design Changes
Because of the superior instrumentation capabilities of ADALMs compared to Arduinos, we are now focusing on developing the hardware/software connection with an ADALM. The change does not incur any monetary cost, as we have access to ADALM already. However, to accommodate this change we need to learn to interface with ADALMs directly without using the Scopy graphic user interface so that the web application can access the data captured by an ADALM’s oscilloscope.
Risks and Risk Management
At this stage of the project, we have built the three separate systems (the web application and the two experiments) and need to integrate them. Therefore, the most significant risk is failing to come up with a hardware/software bridge. To manage this risk, we have explored two hardware options (ADALM and Arduino) to measure the experimental values in real-time and a few specific methods to interface with the hardware, so there is a high likelihood that one of these methods will work. If we fail to obtain data captured by the ADALM directly, we will use Arduinos as a contingency plan.
Schedule and Gantt Chart
We have made some updates to the schedule for the last few weeks of the project. The updated Gantt Chart is attached below.
