Work Plan/Diary

Week 1:

  • Clarification of the objectives of the visit.
  • Exploring and evaluating different possibilities for acquiring (sensors) and processing (software) data.
  • Making sense of patterns in data provided by different sensors.

Week 2:

  • Initial calibration of Prototype 1.
  • Developing design ideas for Prototype 2.
  • Getting acquainted with Max 6 by Cycling'74

Week 3:

  • Purchase of additional materials.
  • Interfacing Prototype 2 with Max.
  • Experimenting with hybrid data acquisition (piezoelectric and acceleration sensors).
