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).
I got the PCB this week on Tuesday. After some initial testing with Nick’s test code, I decided that the PCB may not be fully functional. For the time being, we have shifted our attention to using the back up parts to get a working dev board implementation. This process involved placing components and resistors on dev boards and soldering them along with soldering wire connections. We have made significant progress and are looking to complete this tomorrow to do full system testing with the newer dev board options. Most of my time this week was spent in the HH labs and Tech Spark working with Nick to solder all components.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We are not completely on-schedule, but it is still likely that we will have everything as desired by demo day. Our prototype was fully operational last week so the there should be minimal debugging for this implementation pivot. We should be hopefully wrapping up most implementation related tasks tomorrow and complete full system integration soon after.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
With the demo on Thursday and video due Monday night, we are looking to have a demo-worthy project to showcase our hard work throughout the entire semester. Despite our numerous hardships throughout this project, we are aiming to have full-system integration done by tomorrow or Monday, so that we can put the finishing touches/get the appropriate measurements done for all documentation-related submissions that are due this upcoming week.
