| 1 | 02/01/26 | 02/05/26 | Juan | Need motor driver to test out shaker circuit. | Request L298N from TAs after sensor lab. Look for different motor driver in inventory. | Used the L298N driver from the sensor lab. | This was the quickest way to getting a motor driver that would allow us to test out our prototype circuit. |
| 2 | 02/15 | 02/24 | Farnaz/Juan | Jetson is too old/not enough processing to deal with two ZED stereo cameras. | Purchase newer Jetson. | Purchased a Jetson Thor. Installed some libraries bare metal rather than in Docker containers to test out communication with a. single side of a single Stereo camera. | We are going to be streaming what amounts to four camera feeds and running inference locally, so purchasing a more powerful compute module was necessary for us. |
| 3 | 02/20 | 02/24 | Juan | Shaker PCB component sourcing/manual soldering potential issue. | Find components that fit the designed footprint. Update the PCB to use a more common footprint. Update the PCB to use a DevKit ESP32 board. | Updated the PCB to use more common component footprints. Also designing a new version that uses a DevKit ESP32 | Updating the PCB was the easiest and cheapest way to get the PCB order placed. Designing a new version gives us breathing room in case the soldering is too difficult. |
| 4 | 03/01 | 03/15 | Arnav, Farnaz | Capture Card not compatible with Jetson Thor | Do camera processing on Xavier | Doing camera processing on Jetson Xavier and streaming out to Thor | We need the component for streaming real-time. |
