Personal Accomplishment
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).
This week, I spent my time mainly on preparing the design review slides. I will be presenting next week so I spent time practicing my presentation skills and finalizing the logic flow of our slides. I also finalized our component orders and decided to go with KLD7 radar and a power bank instead of Position2Go and a battery adapter. Additionally, I designed the system specification block diagram by hand and sent it to my teammate to finalize using draw.io for inclusion in our slides.
Schedule
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Currently, we are slightly behind schedule due to the recent submission of our orders. The delivery timeline is uncertain, which has caused some delays in setting up hardware. However, with our well-defined design and clear component choices, we are confident that once the items arrive, we will be able to proceed with the setup quickly and efficiently.
Upcoming Deliverables
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
In the upcoming week, I plan to focus on setting up the radar once the ordered components arrive. I’ll also do unit test on the radar after setting it up to test its capabilities to make sure it meets our requirements. Additionally, I will start to work on assembling the components to RPi4 via the specified communication protocol in our design.
