Weekly Update 2


Hi.

1. An image or video (this could either be photograph of the current state of your work, a sketch, a diagram, etc)

New Button Design

Board

Button

Circuit

We also got a bunch of new materials in that I think might be a bit excessive to take pictures of them all…

 

2. A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week

  1.   Our application has been improved, text to speech works and we are now working on bluetooth integration
  2. Tested some draw on circuits
  3. Found a library for conductive circuit implementation with Arduinos.  (We will now have to double the amount of pins we were expecting).
  4. Ordered/Received a new bluetooth module (Hopefully it works with iOS).

3. A description of problems encountered and outstanding issues (highlight anything that you are looking for help on)

  1.  The fact that we need twice as many pins as before is a bit of a difficulty.
  2. We are still trying to figure out what main board we want to use.  We will continue using the current larger variant for testing, though we definitely expect to scale down pretty quickly

4. A plan for the next week of work

  1. Further develop mapping in phone app
  2. Implement the conductive sensors on our test patches so that we can start making them on the actual circuit designs.
  3. Continue optimizing the fabrics and physical item that we expect to create.
