WORK ACCOMPLISHED:
This week I spent time working on our wristband system.
I was able to setup a circuit using the mini breadboards, that cause the ERM motor to vibrate from a script on the micro Arduino. I spent time learning how to use HC-05 bluetooth module in order to send data that the Arduino can use to dictate when the motor should vibrate. I’m currently working on adding code to the sensor script so it can send a signal to the HC-05 when an object is detected within a certain range.
PROGRESS:
I’m currently behind with tasks, I wanted to be able to send data to the motor circuit from a python script by now. I aim to have this done later today though. I also still need to find a better sensor, but want to make sure I can get basic functionality of the blindspot detection subsystem before I spend more time trying to improve accuracy.
NEXT WEEK’S DELIVERABLES:
Next week, I aim to have basic functionality of the blindspot detection subsystem and look into sensors available in the ECE inventory.
