Week3

 Week 3

Feb 17th

Our ordered part arrived and we retrieved it from the lab technician.

After attended to lab, we had a small brief about the expectations with the poster, blog, and the ethics report. Then we began finding pin connections for the grove sensor.

At first, we integrated grove speech recognizer to breadboard with Arduino. The grove speech recognizer Arduino successfully powers on after connecting USB. Secondly, we integrated LED with grove speech recognizer and Arduino. After that, we modified the code to turn on the LED with the grove speech recognizer. The LED turns on with the given functions in the documentation. We can call HICELL command to turn on the LED. We attempted to add new voice functions by training grove speech recognizer, however, we realized we cannot achieve the desired affect after all.

We decided to use the pre given functions to complete tasks as ordering a new speech recognizer is impossible as it has been week 3 and there is not enough time to integrate the part and train speech commands.

At first, we integrated display with grove speech recognizer, Arduino, and LED. Secondly, we did a simple test where LED goes on with voice command. We attempted to add more LEDs but encountered an issue. The LEDs were not turning on. To solve the problem, we reconnected everything and tested each added LED separately.After we did a simple test to turn on the integrated LEDs which works, we attempted to make the code more complex to switch between on the LEDS using one of the commands but failed.

We decided to fix current issues included screen display not disappearing after next given command and long text cutting off before the end of the day.

This day’s lab ended with a meeting where we concluded to add the final code and components next week as well as finalize progress with other aspects of the assignment i.e., the blog, poster, and ethics report.

Week 5

  Week 5 Mar 2 nd We h ad a meeting before our presentation   to  discuss our presentation order and content . We s et up   our  poster with  poster board from lab as well as set up   the  circuit for presentation . We p resented poser and circuit to   our  Assessor and Academic supervisor.   After our  presentations, we noted down important points made, such as: •Adding feedback to the system using the sound sensor, whereby certain noise levels determine the level of amplification for the user’s voice. •Making the project more presentable. •Fixing notable code bugs such as some text not refreshing upon calling a new command.

  Week 4 Feb 25 th In this lab, we added more functions to code. We also add sound sensor as well as configured it to adjust to certain noise in the room. At first, we tried the code we wrote before and successfully done all the command. However, after we added the new code, the LEDs began to flash randomly. We thought it might be the problem of delay, so we modified our code and called the command again. Then we found another problem that all lights going on when the commanded hadn ’ t be called. To solve this problem, we modified the code again and tried for times. We had a brief meeting about expectations concerning bench inspection after we solved the problem. We found the screen cannot show all the words clearly, so we adjusted the sensitivity and try to record the response and command. However, that ’ s not so successful and we had to leave the room because of the time limit. We discussed and decided to take this project after class. Next week will be bench inspection, so our...
