Kaitlyn’s Status Report for 4/18/2026

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?

  • Added two device connection (for receiving FPA measurements and sending vibrations via the LRA) into the mobile app
  • Added calibration (pre-session) functionality for initializing the base FPA across all sessions
  • Added data logging feature everytime the FPA measurement data changes. Once session is complete, user will be able to export to CSV.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

We are currently on schedule as the core functionality of the App is implemented and we’ve done multiple mocap device testing sessions.

What deliverables do you hope to accomplish in the next week?

  • Verify (and debug if necessary) calibration and data logging features
  • Add in the automatic vibration pipeline (sending vibrations based on the FPA)
    • Convert Lakshmi’s Python script to TypeScript
  • Align the FPA measurements with the UI — ie. make the data legible for the user
  • If time: implement AWS backend for storing session summary statistics to database (ie. DynamoDB) to be used for our History/Insights page

As you’ve designed, implemented and debugged your project, what new tools or new knowledge did you find it necessary to learn to be able to accomplish these tasks? What learning strategies did you use to acquire this new knowledge?

  • Mobile app development
    • New tools/knowledge: Expo, React Native, XCode/Apple Development
    • Learning strategies: reading documentation, searching through forums, prompting AI to explain confusing syntax and structure
  • Setting up an AWS project
    • New tools/knowledge: adding collaborators to project (IAM Identity Center), deploying via AWS CLI
    • Learning strategies: watching YouTube tutorials, reading AWS documentation, asking peers with AWS experience
