Team Status Report for 4/20/24 – Team B3: Music Mirror

One of the most significant risks that could jeopardize this project is not having access to the lighting fixtures and accompanying devices during these last few weeks for experimentation, testing, and demonstrations. This risk is being mitigated by ordering the same parts for ourselves so that we will have full control over a proper set of lighting equipment.
A secondary risk that could jeopardize this project is having trouble integrating all the modules of the system together on the Raspberry Pi’s. While these processors are indeed capable of multithreading, to operate the core queue manager or the recommendation service simultaneously with continuous lighting control signal generation, this may slow down the subsystems perceptively. This risk is being mitigated by having a third Raspberry Pi on reserve just in case it is necessary to dedicate an entire Raspberry Pi computer to each major subsystem.
In order to mitigate the risk of not having enough time to run as many or as comprehensive of tests as necessary, we started building our testing systems early last week.
No changes have been made to the system diagram or the project schedule.
