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).
I finished soldering the MCU/mux component with the battery and an on/off switch to take it off the breadboard and make the vibrotactile component fully wearable.
I also worked on writing up an experimental protocol for us to start testing next week and met with Vu to get his feedback on the protocol.
I met with Iqui to fabricate more cases – we ended up changing the fabrication protocol such that the liquid silicone mixture will get run through the centrifuge twice (instead of once) so that it is fully mixed, since last week we had issues where the silicone wouldn’t cure even after 24 hours. The design of the mold was also adjusted as well to reduce the larger air bubbles. Instead of pressing the positive of the mold into the negative from the top, the positive will get pressed into one half of the mold and the second half is put in place on top of it (like a sandwich).
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
My progress is on schedule, as we will begin conducting testing with the mocap system all of next week.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Solder the MCU/IMU component with a battery and on/off switch so that the foot mounted component can be worn without needing to be connected to the laptop.
- Run experiment for testing FPA estimation accuracy
- Label the motion capture data to be processed using Lakshmi’s mocap vs device FPA code
- Make a case for the foot mounted device
- If this does not get done before the experiment on Monday, we will fir
