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 worked on:
- Spray painting the 6 outer boards of the machine box and the “SweeTrivia” letters together with Min Ji. Laser cut the front, back, and left boards and the decoration letters.
- Due to some code changes with Min Ji’s rpi download implementation, the audio narration and dispense programs were taken out, so I added the backend narration control code and i2c communication code back in to fit the updated rest of the code base.
- Implemented the sound effects for correct and incorrect answer selection for user engagement. Added 2 types of background music for the round over screen and the candy selection screen.
- Worked on final presentation outline structure, hardware (page 5&6), testing (page 9&10), design tradeoff (page 11).
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
My progress is on schedule! I will work next week on:

- Finalize final presentation slides.
- Glue the motors and coils and attach all hardware in place on the machine.
- Shoot final video.
- Debug the QR code upload with team.
- Add shopping mechanism code.
- Work on final poster.
