Timeline

Winter Quarter

  • Fixed clock source and appropriate PCB traces on mini PCIe peripheral 1

  • Learned and practiced with Rust

 

  • Removed Ethernet, USB connector 0, and HDMI 1 from PCB

  • Implemented the second antenna and modified data processing to include a second frame 

  • Began translation of the Angle of Arrival Algorithm into Rust

 

  • Adding mini PCIe peripheral 2

    • Created schematic, using proper clock source and data signals from Jetson Xavier​

    • Utilized lines from USB connector 0 for mini PCIe use

    • Routed mini PCIe 2 on PCB

  •  Translation of AOA into Rust complete

 

  • Optimizing Board Space and Confirming Routing

  • Began testing the AOA in Rust with Matlab generated data

  • AOA testing continues and improvements are made when necessary 

 

  • Board is in final review for shipment

  • Began to edit the Save Thread to obtain real data to test with the AOA

  • Board is out for assembly

  • Save thread is complete and capturing real data 

  • Confirm firmware, making changes for the updates we have to USB and the second mini PCIe

  • Completed 3D design of the antenna holder in fusion 360. 

  • Began to run real testing scenarios in the CACI office and made more adjustments to the AOA to increase accuracy with real data

 

  • Confirm the power sequencing necessary for proper functionality upon the return of the board

  • Began to work on the app

  • Continued to make improvements on the AOA

  • Tested different scenarios at the CACI office to rule out possible interferences with the accuracy of the algorithm

  • Receive the finished board, and debug as appropriate to have a fully functioning board, capable of running the two xtrx necessary for our final design

  • Generated visualizations of the captured data and AOA estimation 

  • Planned to test the second XTRX with the completed PCB 

  • Finalize all details and demo board

  • Run final demos with the second XTRX to test if location estimation is more accurate 

  • CAPSTONE DAY. Present project
