8th meeting 3/10/17 Plan device on wheelchair and plan housing unit – 9th meeting 3/17/17 Test prototype 1 and see where problems are – 10th meeting 3/24/17 Test prototype 2 and see if problems were solved – 11th meeting 3/31/17 Assemble final seat and get ready to present to VA – 12th meeting 4/8/17 Usability Testing with clients – Meeting with Advisor: 1st meeting 1/19 Updated Advisor on the Project goals. This meeting was strictly to make sure the – advisor understood what the design of the project was. Our advisor approved all of our material selection, and methods of carrying out our design project. 2nd meeting 2/8 Brought seat components for approval and displayed our integration. This was the first – time our advisor saw our inflatable bladders. He was impressed with the ability to achieve an air tight seal, and how much weight the bladder could hold. 3rd meeting 2/15 Asked for coding help and help with circuitry for mechanical components. The circuit – was approved for use in the project. A sample resistor, transistor, and diode were brought to test out the Arduino with the circuit. The circuit was approved, and effective in achieving the desired goal. 4th meeting 2/22 Asked for help in testing the devices & finalized methods of testing. This is when the – use of the MTS machine was decided to be a sufficient way of testing the effectiveness of the bladders. The motion capture system was approved for final testing of effectiveness of prototype. 5th meeting 2/28 Updated advisor on progress and testing schedule. This meeting was just to touch base – with advisor and ensure that the group was on schedule for the development of the prototype. 6th meeting 3/1 talk about options for remote, and see if there is a cheap way to do a Bluetooth model – 7th meeting 3/8 Discuss feasibility of our material selections and if there are any alternatives –
