156B Week 2
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Established which team member will focus on what piece of the device. Progress has been made on CAD modelling. Currently the team is deciding on what pieces to purchase for the design.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Created BOM for arm support subsystem, parts from online manufacturers are ordered, parts from hardware stores need to be purchased.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Assemble subsystems as parts come in.
Connect motor to microcontroller and power supplies.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Meeting on April 10 over Zoom:
Hexagonal Belt Path: Nothing notable, just make sure not to exceed a reasonable size constraint of the device.
Manual Arm Support: Current design seems fine, as long as it can be setup reasonably quickly for each patient. Would prefer space for pillows.
Framing and Container: Doesn't need to be clear, but should have a way for patient's to see the setup before starting and then can be closed up.
UI: Manual option for simple studies and connection through usb for python script input.
