Team Status Report for 2/7

We have developed our presentation and reviewing our design, adding new information from research papers that have developed augmented drum pads before and going to be developing our network protocol soon. We are finalizing our BOM over this weekend and having our design checked by the faculty and TA soon.

The largest risk at this moment is not getting our parts on time to get prototyping to allow significant leeway for our versions in due time. In order to combat this we need to get our design checked and BOM finalized as soon as possible.

Attached is the link to our BOM currently as we begin to make adjustments and order backups in case our design needs additional requirements. There are no additional changes to our design as of now.

Caleb’s Status Report for 2/7

I spent this week mostly preparing for the proposal presentation on Wednesday and researching papers from the NIME that have done previous percussive augmented designs to draw inspiration from. After researching I have compiled a basic list of parts for the hardware aspect that are not specific yet.

I plan to finalize the hardware portion of the BOM by Sunday or Monday but after finalizing this I would say I am slightly behind schedule for prototyping. I can get on schedule only once I obtain the materials to start the prototyping.

I need to converse with the faculty and TA more to get more specifics on the designs and vendors for our product.
