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 worked primarily on testing the portions of the project that I have, specifically the motion/beat tracking algorithm. One method of testing I used was moving the Arduino in a series of motions and ensuring that the change of direction was detected at the correct time. Additionally, I worked on CADing a microphone casing to be 3d-printed this week.
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 still behind our original schedule, however after revising our GANTT chart I have enough time designated for my remaining tasks.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
By next week, I hope to have all portions of the project completed and ready for full integration testing.
As you’ve designed, implemented and debugged your project, what new tools or new knowledge did you find it necessary to learn to be able to accomplish these tasks? What learning strategies did you use to acquire this new knowledge?
As I’ve implemented my project, I’ve had to become more familiar with the Arduino IDE. This was intimidating at first, since I haven’t used it much in the past, but I was able to learn by watching tutorials and reading source code available online.
