Group: This week, we finalized our testing schedule and worked on creating our final presentation slides. We conducted testing on both the hardware and software components of the project. Additionally, we began preparing our poster while continuing testing over several days. For next week, we plan to complete all remaining testing, finalize the case and assemble the final device, and continue preparing the final video and poster.
Ines: This week, I primarily focused on preparing the final presentation slides for my presentation. I also worked on completing the scripts for the thermal camera and tested them with our plants under different lighting and environmental conditions. In addition, I’ve started integrating the completed system into the case. Next, Sanjana and I will conduct a full hardware system test, followed by end-to-end testing with the entire group.
Miffy:This week, I wrapped up the software side of the project by finishing debugging on the last remaining component of the app, bringing the mobile frontend to a fully functional state. I also created a user testing document — including a guide and questionnaire — and conducted user tests with three participants. Next week, I’ll support the group with end-to-end testing and contribute to finalizing the poster and video.
Sanjana:
As we wrap up the course, I focused on finishing testing this week. As we already completed any of the short term tests, I worked on some of the longer range tests such as testing for the 5-7 day early detection requirement. To do this, I started by making sure the entire system was functional, testing individual components and subsystems to ensure that everything was working for testing with the final assembly and enclosure. Once this was complete, I set up the system with our test plant. Over the course of several days, we placed the plant in suboptimal conditions to test unhealthy plant behavior. Over this time, we kept steady control conditions and recorded photos and notes every day. As we head into this last week, I plan to complete this testing for the hardware and final enclosure testing, any other small remaining tests, and the final video for demo.
