I need to work on the level seperation between different liquids on the app

 

As you’ve designed, implemented and debugged your project, what new tools or new knowledge did you find it necessary to learn to be able to accomplish these tasks? What learning strategies did you use to acquire this new knowledge?

I realized that hand soldering is really difficult to maintain and tends to break especially when the wires are tiny. We learned about a new connector that is tempory so things should not break as often

  • This week I soldered the microcontroller as well as the sensors onto a blank pcb board. I also fixed the app to work with the BLE sense Arduino. This week was really rough and we had to resolder the sensors multiple times due to 2 Adafruit nrf’s burning out.

I need to fix a water level bug as well as change hte color for the liquid depending on what the liquid is. I will also support matt with cadding

 

Now that you have some portions of your project built, and entering into the verification and validation phase of your project, provide a comprehensive update on what tests you have 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 need to do water level tests to make sure that the app and bottle are calibrated. This is really important at this point bc we need to switch cm -> ounces in order for the UI to make sense.

I hope to focus on the demo and have a mvp for the demo.

Erin’s Weekly Status Update 3/23

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 I wrote the app side code to connect the bottle to the app via bluetooth. Alan & I designed the bluetooth protocol for the bottle to app connection. Finally, I wrote app backend code to save past state data for water intake in the actual db and fixed some styling issues.

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

I hope to complete the bottle to app communication protocol and test it next week.  I also hope to make the calendar show different months instead of just the current one. I will support Matt and Alan once app mvp is done.

This week, I worked on bluetooth code for the app side. I was able to create a bluetooth manager object in the app and a tester page for it. Using that I was able to work with Alan to connect the app to the arduino. To do this I also had to set up the app onto my iPhone which took some additional time.

Over the next week, I plan on writing more of the app for the bluetooth page as well as more of the backend data structure for the app.

This week I created the storage system and the home page of the app as well as an async function that saves total intake at the end of each day. I also created the template for the streak calendar page and created the react objects behind them.
In terms of project management, I helped write the design report and created most of the figures in the report. I also helped CAD a more detailed version of the bottle.

This week we had to migrate from Metro react native to Expo react native due to the lack of resources for Metro react native apps with bluetooth. I found a different boiler plate for this and began to restart the progress on the app. I also worked a lot on the Design Report and slides. I CAD-ed the bottle, made block diagrams and flow charts, and cleaned up the UI figma.

  • Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

I think due to the setbacks with the migration we are behind schedule but it is fine because we know the general workflow for the app and is able to restart the process really fast. Once we finish the design report I can work more on the App and set up the backend

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

I hope to remake the progress we had on the Metro app and clean out the boiler plate so that we can remove all unnecessary things from it. I also plan on making a detailed CAD of the bottle.

This week I helped Alan set up his development environment. I also was able to add a few screens to the app boilerplate.  In addition to that, I am also helping with the presentation slide deck and beginning the backend database for the app.

  • Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

I think I am a bit behind since I was busy this week. However since my part at the moment is mostly software I can catch up whenever I want. As long as I meet my deliverables next week I will be on track.

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

Next week I hope to add an increasing water feature where when I fill in the pop up the water level increases. I also want to add a reset button as well as create a database to actually store this data into memory so it doesnt reset upon refresh.

  1. 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).I made the slides for the presentation this week and presented it. I also set up the boilerplate for the React Native app and got the simulator devices working. This involved finding a sufficient boilerplate template, setting up Metro, installing simulator devices on my Macbook, and creating the Git Repo and workflow. Then I began working on the total daily intake page setting up the front-end for it. I also helped with finding the sensors we needed when we met up on Thursday morning at UC3.

Water intake working with barebones UI and a manual form. Set up all pages in the app. Help decide on a piezo or ultrasonic.
