Kiera’s Status Report for 2/15

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.

This week I continued to work through and finalize the design of the microphone and accelerometer system. I spent time researching tradeoffs of different microcontrollers based on our design goals of having it fit on the microphone, having easy communication with the software, not adding too much latency to the system, and not being too expensive. Additionally, I looked into the option of using camera vision instead of an accelerometer to track the user’s motion but decided that the accelerometer system fits better with our design goals and CV will be a contingency plan. 

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

My progress is on schedule. 

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

By next week I hope to have tested parts of the accelerometer system using spare components and to have further fleshed out the design in the report.
