Group:
This week, we finalized the hardware architecture and component selections in preparation for ordering. We advanced the design report by researching and justifying our chosen indices and design requirements using relevant literature, expanding beyond an NDVI-only approach. We also completed and presented our design presentation, reviewed peer presentations, and continued refining the software design and its integration with the hardware. We plan to submit the final report and begin implementation in the coming days.
Ines:
I primarily focused on finalizing the hardware architecture so that we can order the components in the coming days. I also completed a rough draft of the report sections explaining the selected indices and the rationale behind choosing them. In addition, I conducted further research on how vine diseases manifest and the conditions under which they are most prevalent.
Sanjana:
This week I worked on finalizing the design report with my group. As Miffy was in charge of our presentation, Ines and I took the lead for our report. We did a lot of research on the initial design requirements and backed them up with research articles in order to justify them. I found some useful articles that helped provide more insight into the other indices that we chose to add in our design presentation. This was very helpful since up till now we were operating on the basis that we were just going to use the NVDI. This helped inform our decisions on where and how to place the device. We plan to submit the report in the next day or so in order to get going on the heavy work. Other than that, this week was a little slow for me. We finalized the components we want to order based on our updates from the design presentation, and are going to order these in the next day or so.
Miffy
This week, I completed the presentation slides and delivered our design presentation to the class. I also reviewed and provided feedback on other groups’ presentations. In addition, I continued refining our software system design and worked on integrating the software components with the hardware to ensure smooth communication and functionality.
