Lab meetings (4h): During our schedule lab meeting hours, I continued work on prototype development and looking into potential battery sources for our device.
Intermin Demo Prototype Prepare (20hr): This week I worked on preparing the hardware prototype for the interim demo. This consisted of soldering the sensors and haptics, hooking up the 4 sensors to the ESP, integrating with Jubi’s bluetooth implementation, converting the ADC readings to its corresponding force values, having the haptics fire with 3 different levels depending on how much force it placed on a particular finger, have each sensor connect to a specific motor, and add tape/velcro to make the product easier to put on and take off.
Progress
The hardware prototype is complete.
Next Week tasks & goals
Begin verification and validation tests. Begin designing the PCB to house the circuit and MCU. Order batteries for the MCU.
