Pareekshith’s Status Report for 4/25

This week, I focused mainly on re-testing my speech technology setup to ensure that nothing horrifically wrong had happened or will happen in the next two weeks, and I also met with Dr. Dueck and the School of Music students to troubleshoot our Accomplice setup and the cueing. One good thing is that the software now correctly follows the MIDI keyboard and is able to output cues properly, although I need the exact cue positions so that I can pinpoint exactly where and when our camera needs to turn. I also needed to order a new BLDC motor driver after one of the motor drivers we originally got through the School of Music was faulty, and so we received that today and look to complete the setup and fully integrate. My progress is on schedule, and since my portion is mostly complete (apart from getting the exact cue positions for the “Ah Perdona” piece), I’ll be helping out my team with any other necessary tasks this week as we look to complete the project and demo it at the TechSpark demo as well as at the public demo. I’ll also be working on the poster, the final video, and the final report this week so we won’t be pressed for time as we conclude the semester.
