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).
For this week, I helped lead the team in preparing for the final presentation that is coming. Additionally, I also worked on our app more in making sure that we can remember devices that were recently connected. I also tested connectivity with another device, a pair of wireless earphones, while waiting for the RPi from my teammate! I had some bugs here and there in the project, but I was able to resolve them! I also put a lot of effort into continuing to test the app from blindfolding users. I blindfolded 12 users this week and asked them for their advice on how to improve the app and worked on the app to make the notification messages more direct and clear. I also was able to get a smooth transitions between the different pages while remembering the user’s data settings in between launches! yay!
I have also been involved in the headset assembly process with my teammates.
• Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I believe my project is currently on schedule.
• What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
For next week, I hope to continue building the app and iterating on the users’ feedback more! Due to the switch from the Jetson to the RPi, I hope that I will be able to send and receive data from my teammates’ components. I also hope to find a way to make the app run in the background of the phone!
As you’ve designed, implemented and debugged your project, what new tools or new knowledge did you find it necessary to learn to be able to accomplish these tasks? What learning strategies did you use to acquire this new knowledge?
For me, I feel like looking at youtube videos and online tutorials helped me quite a lot! I also liked reading documentation online about the tools and libraries I was using! I also think that sometimes reading youtube comments can be pretty helpful to learn here!
We recognize that there are quite a few different methods (i.e. learning strategies) for gaining new knowledge — one doesn’t always need to take a class, or read a textbook to learn something new. Informal methods, such as watching an online video or reading a forum post are quite appropriate learning strategies for the acquisition of new knowledge
