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 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.

Is your progress on schedule or behind?

On schedule

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

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 soldered all the electronics in the bottle this week. I am also writing the app side bluetooth protocol and parsing.

On schedule.

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

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

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 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.

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

On schedule

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

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 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.
