Since the time to start building our device is approaching closer and closer, this month our group had to focus on preparing ourselves for the Interim Design Review. During this process, we discussed requirements, specifications, verification methods, and justifications for the design of our device.
To view our design inputs,
verification activities, and justifications
We also began to think about some design solutions. They can be found under interim design review.
Based on the interim review, our group:
- began to identify appropriate sensors
- FSR (force-sensitive resistors) for compression pressure
(maybe shear as well)
- started to think about how we will model out device
- 3D print a shell? create a mold?
- decided an Arduino would be sufficient as a microprocessor for our project (not computationally demanding)
- identified goal of 3D modeling of anatomy in SolidWorks for final presentation
- began to think about how to specify material property testing methods for verifying silicon (or material(s)) being used to make up device
-Went over hazard analysis spreadsheet and documentation
