Our most significant risk is the design of PCB because the still do not have a physical product that we can test on yet.
Design wise, we figured out the viability of the current design through the interim demo. No re-designing need to be made at this point.
Schedule wise, we caught up with the progress yet we still need to finalize the design of the circuity component. We currently don’t have any change of plan.
Next week, we will start working towards the final polished product
This week, I was mainly working on fine tuning the code that communicates between a python web app and a python program that interfaces arduino. The team and I successfully made the player move to actually control the remote gantry system and the python program can successfully detect the sensor rising edge and place a piece on the web app board.
After weeks, we finally catch up with almost everything. The only thing that puts us at risk is the customized PCB as I just figured out the exact dimension this week but don’t have time to make adjustments to the original design yet.
By the end of next week, I hope that I can finalize with PCB and place the order by next Thursday. Meanwhile, I will continue to work on the communication code to generalize for the 9 by 9 matrix of sensors. The team and I will also look into laser cutting and assembling components for the final product.
