Team Status Report – 4/12/2025

Accomplishments this week:
This week, Rohit built and finished the frontend. Rohit and Will also worked on 3D printed the casing for all our parts. This involved learning how to do CAD as well as 3D printing. Rohit also made a function to be able to add metadata to images. Will also worked on the manual button and was able to solder it. We are now working on the manual button integration. In addition, Will worked on the location feature and realized that our new GPS module was not good enough. He is now reverting back to using the Blue’s Notecard for location. Dhruv worked on integrating the entire pipeline together. He was able to connect the backend camera capture mechanism to the frontend code. There is now a working pipeline from camera capture to displaying the summary on the frontend. As a group we are slightly behind schedule but we made significant progress recently and are almost ready to test. Our plans for next week are to finish the pipeline and start testing.

To validate our pipeline. We will initiate a camera capture, and verify throughout the pipeline. We will verify the location data, metadata, as well as functionality on the webpage. We will then check that summaries are actually reflective of a user’s day. We will test by each using the product for a day and seeing how useful it really is. Then, we will adjust prompt and models as needed.

Dhruv Status Report – 4/12/2025

Accomplishments this week:
This week I focused on connecting the backend pipeline to the to the frontend. This involved a lot of effort in changing the structure of the code to match the frontend. We know have a working calendar view with configurable settings and generated diary entries. Now, whenever a picture is taken, it dynamically gets added to the website. In addition to this, Will and I worked on location. We realized the GPS is not great so we are going back to using the Blue’s Notecard. We also all 3D printed the casing for our parts.

Reflection on schedule:
I need to focus on helping integrate all the parts together and start testing. We are behind the schedule as we should have started testing.

Plans for next week:
Finish entire pipeline and start testing.

Verification Plans:
To verify that my part works as expected. I have built a simulator to simulate location changes using my arrow keys. I am using this to simulate the entire pipeline of picture taking and website updates. So far, it is working correctly. Once, we have the location working, we will verify location by walked certain distances and comparing coordinates with our phone. We will make sure it is within the 100 meter radius. We have already tested camera capture and network connectivity.
