With our team’s Final Design Report on the horizon, we have all hands on deck for finalizing our prototype! Our team has made major strides in our project and have integrated all components of our project together. Software developed by… Read More

As the finishing touches are being made to the prototype, the team took time this week to conduct testing both in-lab, collecting pulse data from the radar at various angles, and on-site, gathering mechanical measurements, configuring the optimal radar chirp,… Read More

Prototype Inspection Day (PID) is a day where we got to present our prototype in front of a panel of judges with a wide range of expertise. From this event, we gained valuable feedback that spawned important questions that we… Read More

Our team ran into a major setback this week as we received our PCB quote and learned that manufacturing our own PCB for this project will be infeasible do to shipping time and cost. Fortunately, because the backup radar has… Read More

Above is the almost completed PCB Radar board. Due to some complications on Altium there were connections pathways that disappeared and have to be re-routed. This is the main reason I say the board is only 99% complete. This is… Read More

This week our team had our second Qualification Review Board of the semester. While our first QRB in January had a larger focus on our semester plan, this QRB looked more at our team’s current progress and how well we… Read More

Our software team has been working on 3 main components: threat detection algorithm, on-device alert logging and external access, and alert system-wearable communications. We are pleased to report great progress on all three fronts. Crucially, our threat detection algorithm is… Read More

Above is our preliminary design of the PCB. In the middle are two microprocessors and it will connect to a radar module. We’ve been working hard on the radar device and the PCB is giving us unique challenges to solve.… Read More

This week, our team spent time working separately on hardware and software development. The hardware team is working diligently on the radar PCB schematic, integrated antenna, and battery power specifications. The software team is working just as hard on improving… Read More

This week was our first Quarterly Review Board of the semester! The team was excited to present our progress, and we received a myriad of valuable advice from our coaches during the event. Some of our most important takeaways are… Read More

After a long winter break we have finally started getting back into the project. There have been a few challenges with the main one being the fact that we have a new coach. After a long team meeting with her… Read More
