Erin’s Status Report for February 8th, 2025

Personal Accomplishments
Mohammed and I worked on booting up a spare NVIDIA Jetson Nano that we had. The process was fairly straightforward, from flashing the SD card to creating an account. The only hiccup we encountered during bootup was the plugin of any external device causing the system to shut down. However, we overcame this very easily by using a power supply better rated for the product.

In addition to this, for our project proposal, I created a block diagram to help us efficiently isolate the different aspects of our system architecture, and think of how we were going to implement it ahead of our design review presentation in the coming weeks. I also helped in finding parts for our parts list 

Schedule
Currently, we are on track, however, we are approaching milestones in the coming days, including the system architecture design. 

Deliverables
My upcoming goals for the coming week include solidifying the parts list, placing orders for essential components, and also working with John to properly hash out the servo actuation mechanism and how it is going to interact with the whole system.
