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).
Last week, I worked on more testing, ensuring that the system works, and also preparing for the final presentation that we had on Wednesday. This week wasn’t as much work as we had given a lot of time in the previous weeks to be at a safe position.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
The progress is on schedule.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
We have our final presentation next week and will spend time preparing for that and ensuring our final solution is well tested and correct in all aspects.
List all unit tests and overall system tests carried out for experimentation of the system. List any findings and design changes made from your analysis of test results and other data obtained from the experimentation.
There weren’t any major design changes on my part, except the fact that we went from a QuadSPI implementation to a SPI implementation, as that worked for our needs.
For the tests, we carried out all the tests as described in the final presentation. This included the range test, where we held the remote camera node and the receiver 50m apart, with multiple obstacles in between, and were still able to send and receive the frames with less than 10% drops.
Another test was the battery test, where we ran the system for 24 hours and were able to continuously see it working.
Another test for my part was using the logic analyzer to see that the SPI implementation is working correctly and the bytes transferred are padded, and in the right order. This test also included integration with the FPGA and making of the entire system.
