November Update #2

Accomplished this past week:
Sam - Worked on BOM. Need to find some parts.
Task Incomplete

Ian - Worked on pseudocode.
Task Incomplete

Ogi - Contacted Dr. Bao about camera budget, researching feasible camera models to use.
Task incomplete

Matt- Worked on Poster, set up organization for final report, began forming final report, parts order waiting in Ogi and Sam
Task Complete/Contingent

Goals for this week:
Sam - Focus on documenting power circuit design, provide analysis for final report and revise material from midterm report. Begin to document this as part of the Final Report. Get Bill of Materials finished ASAP.

Ian - Focus on pseudocode for project, document and analyze software needs (streaming, libraries, everything needed to prove that software needs are analyzed and addressed.) Begin to document this as part of the Final Report.

Ogi - Finish camera task ASAP (select model and get it approved for purchase by Dr. Bao). Focus on more background research on how the technologies are used in a relevant sense (see old reports for examples of what to talk about). Begin to document this as part of the Final Report.

Matt - Place parts order when possible, hash out poster design, continue compiling Final Report

Meeting activity:
- Sam and Matt briefly discussed the report.

Upcoming Deadlines:
- Design Poster (Monday, 16 November)
- Final Report (Monday, 16 November)

Notifications:
- Everybody must start writing documentation/report material for their work and use Word format, submit to Google Drive folder "FINAL REPORT"

Notes:
- Write Word doc updates on each of your weekly tasks and use them to compile your section of the Final Report.

- Use Word docs for compiling your final report material

- Check your email and this blog frequently

- Here's what we need to develop for the Final Report:



1) A complete parts list for the project must be formed

2) The project circuits/schematics must be captured/simulated to prove design

3) The errors/weak spots of the midterm report must be addressed

4) More background must be researched/provided

5) Review design specs - All design choices must be supported with analysis

6) Provide Analysis of complete design - All design choices must be supported with analysis

7) Schematics include pin-out level, RefDes #s

8) Software flowcharts/pseudocode, algorithms simulated, libraries tested, OS formed

9) processors documented and required software identified, communications described
