What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, I researched problems that our idea could help solve, particularly the psychological aspects behind our design choices. This included exploring why we opted for a 1-on-1 interactive system, how a reward system can enhance studying, among others. Additionally, I helped organize and finalize our proposal slides, created the Gantt chart, and divided tasks for the next steps.
Beyond that, I drafted a GUI mockup for our touchscreen based on the state diagram I created. I also researched app development options for the Raspberry Pi, compiling setup tutorials and relevant resources into a reference document. As part of this, I downloaded PySimpleGUI, one of the available GUI development environments, though I have yet to determine if it is the best fit since we have not finalized our materials list.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
According to the team’s Gantt chart, my progress is on schedule. However, I am still uncertain about which GUI framework to use. To resolve this, I plan to collaborate with the team to finalize our RPi and touchscreen selection before making a decision. Further research will also help solidify our approach.
What deliverables do you hope to complete next week?
Next week, I aim to finalize our choice of an app development framework and begin coding the interface. Additionally, I plan to set up a GitHub repository for version control and collaboration.
