What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient
effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week, I mainly researched how to interface all the peripherals with the Raspberry Pi. The peripherals include motors, LED, speaker, proximity sensor, and touchscreen. My focus was on the motors and how they are powered by a source and controlled by the Raspberry Pi. The motors will be powered separately from the Raspberry Pi source. Also, I worked on completing the motor control schematic.
Additionally, we as a team researched and finalized our bill of materials. I helped with finding some of the exact items for the peripherals on external websites like Amazon and logged them on our spreadsheet
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I believe that my progress is a little ahead of schedule. I have a rough draft of my circuit diagram already with all the peripherals, I just need to do some more research to ensure there are no obvious shortcomings with it.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope in the next week that I am able to research options for motor control code and make some progress with that. I also would like to look more into the I2S speaker bonnet that we plan to use, and make sure all of my signals are connected correctly.
