Week 1 (1/23-1/30)
After forming our team and consolidating our skill sets, we decided that we want to take our project to have a core of hardware/building, with minimal coding. Originally we were heading towards the path of a robot performing a simple task, but in the end we chose to build something that us three can be passionate about: a ski boot warmer powered by a solar panel.
Week 2 (1/30-2/5)
- Focused on breaking down our budget to be as specific as possible
- Met with our TA, Nathan Schmetter, about the logistics of our project.
- Brought up two types of heaters: (1) resistor-based (2) Peltier device heater
- Incorporate an Arduino to develop the temperature threshold system (allowing user to control temperature)
- Preliminary challenge identification
- Talked about how we plan on presenting our project at the demo
- Wrote up our project proposal, including the Gantt Chart
