Lucy’s Status Report for 4/27

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 spent some time with Freda experimenting with the mics since there were a couple different resistor values that could work. To get the 33k ohm resistor, we stacked three 100k ohm resistors on top of each other. Overall, we tested 10k, 33k, 100k, and 200k ohm resistors with the mics, and found that the 100k resistor worked the best in providing a higher range of values in response to varying sound levels.

The new PCBs came in so I also helped solder some parts on them. We ordered 15 flex PCBs and 15 rigid PCBs. Currently, we have only soldered the rigid PCBs to do more mic and led testing on them.

Finally, the web app. Unfortunately, I am still having some trouble with BLE connection. I’ve run into some issues both with the android and ios simulator versions. I’ll continue to work on this and will ask around to see if other groups using BLE could help debug some of the errors I’ve been getting.

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

Slightly behind with the web app. I plan to spend pretty much all my free time for the next week working on finishing the web app and helping with PCB stuff.

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

Since the final demo is next week, I need to get the BLE connection for the web app running so that it can connect with the bracelet and display all the correct values.
