So far, the biggest risks remain the same as last week, mainly with components or parts of our design not working as intended or being broken. We have ordered multiple of the parts we have decided on and will order multiple of future parts to mitigate this, as well as planned for alternatives to our PCB if that doesn’t work. We also considered some alternative methods to implement the current planned features of the pedal, as our microcontroller is more specialized and none of us have ever used it before, and while we have tried to look for any issues in planning, we need backups in case we miss something.
No major changes have been made to the design yet. With this being a week many had midterms, we did not have as much time as in previous weeks, so we prioritized getting the design presentation done and prepared for, as well as getting a start to the report. We have some concerns about the design, as it seems from the feedback of our presentation that there was some confusion about the way we explained the functionality, so we will discuss this further in our meeting Monday.
