WORK ACCOMPLISHED:
This week I worked on initial design sketches for our attachable to the Bike device and for the wristband. We wanted to give an idea of what the goal of our project was. So I showed the wristband with a small hole section for the vibrating motor to stick out of. For the main Rid3 device, I added holes for the speaker to be mounted to and same for the microphone. I also included antenna’s for the sensors to be mounted. This is just a tentative sketch and will be updated in the future.
This week I also worked through redesigning the concept for information transfer for our design. In the beginning we had decided to have our design work on an information system where data was sent through to the blues cloud, to our hosted server, back through the blues cloud, and then to the raspberry PI. But I addressed an issue where audio information could not be sent through the blues cloud due to the fact that it only takes information in as a json. So we decided to pivot our system to use the raspberry PI as the main host, that way we do not have to deal with sending through the cloud, but instead could do our main computing on the Raspberry PI device. I’ve also been playing around with the blues starter kit, by assembling it together and attempting to do sample test runs, however this was hindered by the fact that the usb cable I had could not do data transfers.
PROGRESS:
This week I accomplished most of my tasks, except testing with the blues starter kit to see how Information is delivered, due to the usb cable not being able to do data transfers.
NEXT WEEK’S DELIVERABLES:
Successfully run the blues starter kit process, and collect gps longitude and latitude data. Help program the raspberry pi to be compatible with the other devices that we are using such as the sensors and bluetooth modules.
