Hugo’s Status Report 3/8

This week I was unable to achieve my primary goal of prototyping the hardware filter for our project. The design report took precedence over everything else, and although we did well on our design presentation, I found there was a significant amount of details missing for my implementation. First, I had written out a base schematic but I needed to make choices about not only the specific components but also how it will be powered. I also selected the specific cables we need to use in order to split the stereo left and right channels. I also was previously unaware of powered vs passive speakers and found that the original speaker was a passive one. This means we additionally had to add in an amplifier to boost the signal to our desired levels. I helped the team flesh out our physical requirements for some of the other systems as well. Overall I have fallen behind slightly and need to do some serious prototyping and catching up when we return.
