1/22 - 1/28
- Group finalized PartyBox project idea
- General objectives: LED array, modular and connectable, response to live music, different modes, wireless (if time permits)
- Wiki page published
1/29 - 2/4
- Group met with TA Nathan to discuss project proposal and demo.
- Developed finer ideas of project (center cube with processor and power, no wireless, only music and standby modes, and modularity with plugs flush to cube surface).
- Drafted and finished a project proposal, including a Gantt chart.
- Agreed upon minimum weekly meeting, Monday at 7pm
2/5 - 2/11
- Met with Nathan and discussed issues with the previously submitted proposal, most importantly the need for an additional arduino on the second cube
- Group meeting on 2/8/17:
- Sketched out a basic picture of what we’re brainstorming
- Add sketch to proposal?
- LEDs 4 x 4 x 4 with none on bottom where Arduino is located
- Reevaluated how we would get the two cubes to connect
- Considered more complicated mechanisms, such as force sensors, but ultimately decided on just wiring the inputs and outputs of the two arduinos together using male/female plugs
- Fix Budget
- Removed items we previously thought we would need (micro-USB)
- Add new objects to connect the cubes
- Physically: Magnets? (Could be too expensive) 3D Print locking mechanism?
- Plugs/wires straight from an output port of one Arduino to an input port of the other
- Specify resistors
- Magnets, microphones, acrylic adhesive, counters, transistors
- Fix formatting of proposal
- Adjust Gantt chart
- More time for physical construction
- More actions occurring simultaneously
- Add more details to the overview in the proposal (size specifications, reason for two cubes)
- Sketched out a basic picture of what we’re brainstorming
- Group meeting on 2/9/17
- Dropped the plan for the second cube due to budget constraints
- Adjusted Gantt chart accordingly to account for the change in objectives
- Finalized budget
- Spruced up project proposal
