1. What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
- Last week, I completed my initial circuit design and sent it to three faculty members and one TA for feedback. After receiving extensive feedback, I made several modifications to the design, ensuring that all components had sufficient current draw to operate properly.
- I also created a more visual version of the design to clearly explain how the different components will communicate with each other, making it easier to understand for both the team and external reviewers.
- After finalizing the design, I placed the order for all necessary parts, and the TA approved the order form.
- In addition, we explored the haptic feedback system, considering whether it will correspond to specific emotions (e.g., vibration for happiness vs. sadness) or whether it will reflect the confidence/strength of the detected emotion.
2. Is your progress on schedule or behind?
- My progress is on schedule. The circuit design has been finalized and approved, and the parts have been ordered. I’m currently awaiting their arrival to begin assembly and testing.
3. What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Receive the ordered parts and begin initial assembly and testing of the circuit.
- Finalize the decision on how the haptic feedback will function—whether it will correspond to specific emotions or reflect the confidence level of the emotion detected.
- Begin prototyping the 3D printed enclosure for the bracelet, ensuring it fits all the necessary components.
