This week, the team pushed to freeze the design of, concretely modularize, and begin the implementation for the WaveShaper in time for the semester’s halfway point.
Daniel finalized the system architecture for the hardware and external I/O. Jake began writing the hardware description for the ADSR envelope in the sound synthesis pipeline. Shayaan began designing and writing the mixing of oscillators. In addition, the team allocated their time towards writing a design report document, organizing system requirements, specifications, and development schedule.
These steps align with the proposed schedule, and the project is progressing smoothly. On that same theme of project management, the unfurling of the SystemVerilog hardware description of the modules in parallel represent a first for the team in implementing a design upon which we all conferred. Hopefully, this is a good trial for team coordination going into the latter half of the project’s development period and receiving feedback on the design report.
Each team member wrote upon the global, cultural, and environment factors and/or implications of the project in their respective weekly report. Jake Tarin wrote about the global factors (Part A), Shayaan Ghandi wrote about the cultural factors (Part B), and Daniel Abujaber wrote about the environment factors (Part C).
