Our group met up to finalize the design and work on the presentation. I helped outline how each individual component will interact in the system. Furthermore, I helped with making several slides in our presentation, as did the rest of my team.
I contributed towards finding specific components for our project. Firstly, I researched our UWB positioning tags/anchors, and helped find the DWM1001C board, which is what we plan on using for the UWB tags/anchors. I liked this board because not only does it provide precise distance measurements that satisfy our design requirements, but the bluetooth feature could streamline the communication process to our central processor.
I also proposed using a Raspberry Pi 4 as our processing unit on the wearable, and ensured compatibility with our haptic motors and UWB tag, which use I2C, SPI, and UART. Furthermore, I found the Open3D library which should enable us to take advantage of our stereo camera’s 3D capabilities.
I think our progress is on track, as we have a pretty good picture of what components/tools we will use, and how they will all fit together. We have begun ordering parts, which we want to begin testing in the next week.
Specifically, I want to play around with our UWB anchors just to see how it works. I want to be able to at least begin collecting data metrics, and see what kind of interfaces it has so we can think about sending data to our Jetson. I would like to do the same with our camera as well. Basically, I want to confirm that the tools we ordered will behave in the way we expect them to, and are compatible with the rest of our system.
