1. Accomplishments:
This week, I worked on:
-
Design Review Presentation: I created the slides for the following sections:
- Testing and Verification Methodology: Outlined our approach to validating system accuracy, including sensor calibration tests and data integrity checks.
- Implementation: I included a visual of what our user dashboard will look like.
- Project Management: Developed the Gantt chart, task assignments, and bill of materials for the team.
[Include a screenshot of your slides or the presentation document]
-
User Dashboard Web App: I started building the front end of the user dashboard using Next.js. I implemented the homepage layout and began integrating basic components such as energy usage graphs and a real-time energy savings counter.
This image is serving as the inspiration for my own dashboard.
-
Model House Demo: I designed the layout for our model house, which will be used to showcase SmartWatt’s real-time monitoring capabilities during the demo. I determined the dimensions of each rooms and the placement of each load.
-
Materials Planning: I determined the quantity of wood and acrylic needed to build the model house. I have ordered the wood so I can start laser cutting as needed. However, I plan to wait until later in the semester to assemble the model house since we don’t currently have a large enough storage space.
2. Progress Status:
- I am currently on schedule with my tasks. The design review slides are complete, and I made significant progress on both the web app and model house design.
3. Goals for Next Week:
- Web App: Complete the first iteration of the front-end visualizations and user input interface.
- Model House: Receive the balsa wood and cut each piece to size. I will also order wood glue to assemble the pieces in the future.
- Design Review Submission: My teammate will present our design review on M/W.
