What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
In creating the pcb I have run into some problems, namely enabling the buttons while also having a screen, initially I hadn’t fully understood how much verticality the buttons would need to be able to be pressed through the hardware enclosure. So I mainly worked on redoing our PCB design in order to accommodate for vertical clearance and allow us to create the hardware enclosure without worrying about button height. This is all in order to order the pcb on tuesday before break.
Below is an example of a small breakout board that won’t hurt to have on the top of the board.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We are behind schedule, we were supposed to order the pcb last week, but due to redesigning the pcb we will order it on Tuesday next week. This means we will get the pcb during spring break, which pushes back our physical integration schedule by a week. However to combat our mistake we have planned to order expedited shipping to get back on track.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
