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).
- Prepared and practiced for the design review presentation earlier in the week as it was my turn of doing the presentation for the team.
- Picked up components that arrived this week, performed the wearability unit test together with teammates by weighing the components individually. Verified that the vest is about 1kg which is under our quantitative design requirement of less than 3kg.
- Set up the starter code for radar data analysis for obstacle detection.
- Started on design review report due the following week.
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. Furthermore, nothing was planned during the fall break previously, however, I will utilize the time as a mid-semester slack time to catch up on schedule.
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 with the starter code I set up. I’ll also do unit test on the radar after setting it up to test its capabilities to make sure it meets our requirements. This would include moving our radar at approximately 1 m/s to detect static objects, and holding our radar still to detect moving objects such as people passing by in different directions (towards radar, horizontally in FOV, etc.). Another thing I will complete is finish the design setup of the button hardware circuitry.
