Tarek’s Status Report for 4/26

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).

This week I continued unit testing all my individual components for validation and verification of the subsystem. I also wrote a new library to communicate with the machine running the gaze-tracking script over UART.

I acquired a new MOSFET that is rated for the voltage and current, and got it to work being controlled by the Arduino by adding some additional components like pull-down resistors and a flyback diode.

I also spent time working on our final presentation slide deck.

Finally, I lent Trey a hand drawing the board on the lid. We were originally going to laser engrave this but it ended up not being possible due to relief being an issue for moving pieces on the top of the board.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

I am right on schedule except for user testing, which will be done over the next days right up until the final demo and report are due.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Finalize unit testing and validation (UART and keypad left) and user testing.
