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 worked on these areas:
- Website Development and GPS API Integration:
- Continued coding the website’s interface, focusing on accessible design principles to enhance usability for visually impaired users. This included refining HTML layouts for clarity and ease of navigation.
- Connected and configured GPS settings within our backend API to support real-time location logging with teammate. I am also working on integrating the Google Maps API to translate GPS coordinates into human-readable addresses (e.g., street names, building names) in JSON format with teammate, which will be essential for our web app’s location display feature.
- Component Management:
- Checked in with Quinn regarding the accelerometer component. However, due to an error, a GPS module was ordered instead. I will follow up to ensure the correct accelerometer is acquired.
Schedule
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Due to a recent mix-up in ordering, the correct accelerometer component was not delivered. Instead, another GPS module was mistakenly ordered. This has set back the hardware integration timeline slightly, as the accelerometer is crucial for our system. I’ve coordinated with Quinn to reorder the correct part, and I am actively following up to ensure we receive it promptly. To mitigate any further delays, I plan to focus on testing and refining other aspects of the project that don’t rely on the accelerometer, such as API integrations and backend functionalities. I will also integrate manual fall alert activation in our web app. Once the correct component arrives, I will prioritize its setup and testing to catch up on any lost time. On the web development side, I’m on schedule with the accessible design updates, and the API integration for GPS location data is progressing as planned. The accelerometer delay and Google API complexities are two areas I’m actively managing. I’ll continue to monitor these issues closely and adjust our timeline as needed to maintain steady progress.
Upcoming Deliverables
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
For the upcoming week, I need to:
- Accelerometer Integration: Once the correct component arrives, I will integrate it into our system, testing both connectivity and data transmission capabilities.
- Google API Integration Completion: Finalize the Google Maps API integration to enable location details from GPS coordinates on the web app, enhancing usability.
