This week, I worked more on the CAD. After picking up our parts that arrived this week, we realized that we’d need to make a massive amount of modifications to the goggles, so we’ve decided to design our own goggles and 3D print them. We believe this will help the project remain open-source friendly and highly reproducible because people will be able to 3D print our goggles instead of modify store-bought goggles in a certain specific way.
I also began work on the iOS app that will serve as the bridge between the Dawggles’s Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and the iPhone.
Our progress has fallen slightly behind schedule in regards to CAD, as evident by the progress reports that have reported continued work on the CAD. The mechanical and hardware aspect of the project are more time-consuming than we initially anticipated, especially because we’ve decided to design our goggles with CAD rather than using store-bought ski goggles.
For next week, we’re hoping to complete the CAD. I’m also hoping to complete the pipeline of an image being sent from the Raspberry Pi to the iPhone within a reasonable amount of time. Further improvements later in the semester will reduce the time to be under the time limit specified in our requirements.
