Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Fabrication and Design
PCB redesigned
Transferable joint redesigned
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Fabricated the Cuffs and Harness, with the help of Jesus Mendoza from ABI P&O Inc.
Received the PCB to get rid of unnecessary wiring.
PCB function as intended
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Improve on the Report
Improve on the design of the harness
Test with Max again
Cast Max's right arm to get started with the orthosis for the right arm
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Consider giving Max 2 to 5 degrees of hyper extension due to his tendency to lock out elbows when he rests his hands on a table (5/14, in person)
Consider using a Benik Splint as something to interface sensors with (5/14, in person)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Have not looked at comments from other students as they have not been made available to the team as of Wednesday 5/15
Risks and Areas of Concern
The range of motion of the shortish
Need a level surface on the orthosis to interface the joint to the plastic cuffs
Wire Management
The process of putting the full setup on Max
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Finish prototype for left arm by 5/17
Ordered a new PCB that accommodates for an orthosis on each arm
Improve and update harness design by 5/24
Make plastic cuffs for right arm by 5/24 or whenever Jesus Mendoza is available
Update Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
bought pouch for the components housing
bought another PCB this week
2 more linear actuators
Progress on Report and Webpage
Revising the Report with Gilet's comments in mind
Webpage main is being updated
upload CAD drawings and codes
eventually get a group picture with sponsor and Max
