What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
- Not able to demo the FPA angle live next week, we can only demo the vibration being wirelessly sent to the LRA/HD
- Updating the gantt chart accordingly
- Cutting down on the amount of tests we are going to conduct with the device due to time constraints
- Risks with the soft case not curing well in the mold / lots of air bubbles
- Making more iterations of the mold until there is one that provides the best results consistently
- The parts we ordered were missing for most of this week (we have since found the parts)
- Put us behind track on taking the MCU/mux off the breadboard to start user testing
- We ordered a third round of parts that should be coming early next week so we can finish that in the first half of the week
Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
No changes were made to the system design.
Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
- We are still behind on integrating the FPA code onto our mobile app. We plan on finishing this up this weekend and early next week.
- Still behind on testing the device with the mocap system, we plan to start that in the second half of next week
- We are also cutting down on the amount of tests we’re going to conduct. We are aiming to only complete the FPA estimation vs. mocap ground truth as well as the gait retention tests (we are getting rid of the tests involving participants outside the 3 of us as well as the marked treadmill test)
- We have also decided that for our 3 page UI we want to focus on getting the FPA integration down first (the real-time session page) and then getting to the other two pages (long-term data, recommendations). If we don’t have time to implement them fully, we plan on building UI with no backend integration to show what our planned interfaces would look like.
