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 (Jarrod, Katy, 30 min).
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 (Jarrod, Katy, 30 min)
Friday 2/1:
- 3rd class meeting and discussed our next steps for project development (Jarrod, Katy, 1 hour)
- Updated our Wiki page (finalized name "Headband Helper")
- Assigned the nightlight project and the blackjack project.
- Jarrod will focus on the nightlight project
- Katy will focus on blackjack
- 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) (Katy, 2 hours)
- Reformatted wiki page, with updates including: reworked Gantt Chart, updated budget, challenges, and minor format changes (Jarrod, 30 minutes)
- Researched parts necessary to build network, and settled on an accelerometer (see link on main page) (Jarrod, 45 minutes)
- Learning how to add an image to the wiki took a long time (Jarrod, 45 minutes).
Week of February 3rd - February 9th
Monday 2/4:
- Worked on blackjack tutorial- configured & built API using Node.js (Katy, 1.5 hours)
- Worked on nightlight tutorial- built circuit in breadboard, flashed the Rasberry pi, and started pi on a monitor (Jarrod, 2 hours).
- 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. (Jarrod, Katy, 30 minutes)
Thursday 2/7:
- 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, Katy, 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 (Jarrod, Katy, 45 minutes)
Saturday 2/9:
- Created presentation for Friday (Katy, 1 hour)
- Continued working on blackjack tutorial- created API routes, client webpage, researched asynchronous HTTP calls (Katy, 1 hour).
