Personal Accomplishments this Week
This week, I mainly assisted DJ and David as they worked to get the communication between IR transmitter and receiver up and running. this involved working with the oscilloscope and conducting tests with all 3 of us to test distance constraints and directionality for the IR components. I also spent a good bit of time working on the individual portion of the ethics assignment this week as well.
On Schedule?
I and the rest of the team are on or ahead of schedule, but as the semester gets closer to the end, my work will begin to get more involved. So, for the next week, I want to try and get a step ahead of some of my tasks so that I am not feeling as much of a time crunch as my workload gets more heavy on the project.
Next Week Deliverables
Next week I am planning on continuing to work with David and DJ on getting all the hardware up and running to where we want it to be. I also want to begin thinking more about the physical integration of all the parts of our project, since we may want to add a lens as well. Thinking more about integration now will let us work out the problems and potential issues so that components fit together properly and we can shift focus on more complex parts of the project if needed.
