This week was pretty fun for me. I got a lot done and was able to start thinking about my project.
My daily tasks this week included meeting my milestones (drawn diagrams, working design, instrumentation list, etc.) Every morning I would go right to my desk and get to work. I had a short break for lunch and kept right on working through my lunch break most days. This week I mainly focused on designing and drawing diagrams for my prototype. I had to draw a design, a wiring diagram, and a functional block diagram. All of this will help me immensely when it comes to actually building my prototype. I learned several new skills to help me with this process. I learned about wiring and how to draw a wiring diagram and I also learned how to draw a good design for a prototype of any system. I was also able to learn about software and the process of creating new software by shadowing Adam. I was also able to order all of the materials I need to build my prototype on amazon.
One of the challenges I had to overcome this week was dealing with being sick. I had to leave early two days because of it and missed a whole day. I had some sort of sinus infection/ear infection, but I still got up in the morning and made myself come in because I didn’t want to miss a thing. Being sick made it harder for me to focus on what I needed to do, but I still got it done. My goals for the next week are to get my prototype finished by Wednesday (I have to build it and do tests) so that I have time to create my presentation for Friday.
