Carnegie Mellon ECE Capstone, Spring 2024: Twain Byrnes, Gary Bailey, Carson Swoveland
This week, we acquired the final PCB, soldered all of the parts onto the board, and created the case for the watch so that it is wearable. We did more work on the firmware as well, adding the ability to load map data from the SD card on the fly. Aside from our design tasks, we also created our final presentation for next week.
We have no new risks that we are worried about, nor are there any changes we have made to the design of the system.
This week was mostly all about firmware changes: we implemented the ability to switch between a watch face and a map on the screen using the buttons, and made more progress toward getting the SD card up and running.

Between last and this status report, I helped with the firmware for the display.
My progress is on schedule.
Next week, I hope to finish up more of the integration between various parts so that the demo will be more impressive.
Between last and this status report, I ordered our PCB and have managed issues arising with the order. I also worked on some of the energy harvesting to see how best to create usable electricity from our sources.
My progress is on schedule.
Next week, I hope to put in orders for more parts and continue working on the energy harvesting.
