Between last and this status report, we got our final PCB layout, and I put solder paste onto the board and then used the pick and place machine to put all of the small pieces onto the board, as seen in the last attached picture. Additionally, I worked on the final presentation.
My progress is on schedule. Next week, I hope to finalize the watch and work on the final design report and poster.
Through this project, I have found myself needing to learn how to program in Rust better than I could before, and I used the Rust documentation and my friends who know Rust to learn it better. I learned more about designing hardware systems, which was mostly through my teammates, as well as some online resources. I also learned how to use the pick and place machine just this past week, which I figured out through the help of my teammates and a bit of experimentation. Throughout this project, I made much use of my human resources, ie friends of mine who had more experience than I did with the various aspects of my project, as well as online resources such as forums and videos online.
