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 researched different components for our custom PCB, mainly looking at various small form batteries and battery charger modules. I also looked at Tamagotchi’s own PCB boards for their devices as well as people have made their own version. This helped me find different components and figure out some PCB elements that may be needed.
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 off schedule, I have not completely spec’d out components for the PCB yet and have not started on character sprite design. In order to catch up I will utilize the next three days to carefully select components, this should put me back on track to start PCB schematic as I allocated two weeks for this. Since the PCB schematic is one of the most important design components I will allocate extra time to ensure this will still be on track. The character design can be incorporated into other weeks as long as it is completed while software development is taking place.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
In the next week, I hope to have all PCB components spec’d out and have a priliminary PCB schematic completed.
