This week, I worked with Xinyu to finish ordering the last item we need for our project that cannot be found at ECE inventory — the ultrasonic sensors. We also received the items we ordered from the ECE inventory. Then, I did some research for the hardware setup requirements as I am responsible for hardware setup, and hopefully I will be able to finish this step by this weekend. I also read through the complete feedback we received for our proposal presentation, and worked with Xinyu to address those questions, and hopefully we can address those questions in our design presentation. I also started making the design presentation slides, which will hopefully be done by tomorrow.
Generally, we are on progress, but depending on if I can finish the hardware setup task tomorrow. We still haven’t received the ultrasonic sensors so the hardware setup cannot be fully done, but it will be easy to attach the sensors to our existing setup once we get them. Below is a picture of my research showing how to connect them.
Next week, we will finish our design presentation, software and hardware setup, and hopefully I will finish motor integration according to our schedule. Also, I should incorporate the ultrasonic sensors into my existing hardware setup.
