This week a large portion of my time was spent working on the design document and report. I worked mainly on the system architecture, design tradeoffs, and system implementations where I made sure to detail the exact specs of our device as well as the other options we considered for different hardware components of our device. Beyond the design report, I ordered the Jetson and worked on setting up the Jetson as well as connecting it to the Raspberry Pi. Furthermore, I completed research on our prioritization algorithm and now have an outlook on how we’ll be filtering the data received by the ultrasonic sensors.
My progress is on schedule.
Next week, I hope to implement my filtering algorithm as well as make sure all the components of the device: sensors, RPi, and Jetson function as desired together.
