Headband_Helper

Week of January 27th - February 2nd

  • Monday 1/28: Met with Professor Feher and Ethan Shry (TA) to discuss which direction to take our project. In the end, we settled on doing a wearable headband that has a Rasberry Pi and accelerometer that can collect impact data and transmit it to a web platform for interpretation.
  • Thursday 1/21: Researched causes of concussions and CTE. Determined that tracking many minor collisions with the purpose of developing a conclusion about an individual's risk for CTE would be challenging because there is limited research in that area. Decided instead to continue forward with tracking concussions, which occur when an individual sustains 95g's to the head.
  • Friday 2/1: Had our 3rd class meeting and discussed our next steps for project development. Updated our Wiki page (finalized name "Headband Helper"). Additionally, we were assigned the nightlight project and the blackjack project. Jarrod will focus on the nightlight project, while Katy will focus on blackjack; work will likely be done simultaneously in order to keep the other in the loop. Katy was briefed after class on the blackjack project, while Jarrod continued formatting the Wiki page and updated the weekly log. We will likely meet over the weekend before our Monday meeting to finalize project proposal and discuss scheduling.
  • Sunday 2/3: Started blackjack project (downloaded Node, set up MySQL database- unsure of step about creating project directory). Reformatted wiki page, with updates including: reworked Gantt Chart, updated budget, challenges, and minor format changes. Researched parts necessary to build network, and settled on an accelerometer (see link on main page). Learning how to add an image to the wiki took a long time (~45 minutes). Total time today spent working: Jarrod - 2 hours; Katy - 2 hours

Week of February 3rd - February 9th

  • Monday 2/4: Katy worked on blackjack tutorial for 1.5 hours (configured & built API using Node.js). Jarrod worked on nightlight for 2 hours (built circuit in breadboard, flashed the Rasberry pi, and started pi on a monitor). Additionally, entire team (including professor and TA) met to discuss what to do moving forward, namely: what type of communications our project would use, what our final design will look like, and possible stretch objectives. Total meeting time was 30 minutes.
  • Thursday 2/7 We continued to research our accelerometer system and how to implement it with respect to our system. Also discussed system design and what final product will look like/steps it will take to get there. Jarrod and Katy both worked for 1 hour.
  • Friday 2/8 Had weekly meeting in Cupples II. Discussed what we needed to have by our Monday meeting with TA and Professor, as well as what parts we should order. Total meeting Time: 45 minutes. Additionally, we plan on meeting sometime tomorrow to flesh out our game plan for the coming week.
