Things that worked really well with our group was our time-management and our
communication with what we were going to do with the house. We were second in terms of the construction of the house. We were first in terms of wiring of the house. With our group, we had excellent communication, allowing an idea to go through to everyone and for everyone to share their opinions on how to do things. We all had different aspects and inputs on this project that made it onto the house. Next time I would like to add more electronic components to the house and successfully make a physical tripwire from scratch. I would like to also like to do better with the construction and have more consistent materials for the walls. We didn’t have as many components as I liked so next time I would like to add a better alarm system as well as other alarms for things like smoke and CO2. I would also like to create a tripwire which I wasn’t able to do this time around. Our group was really cooperative and we each did our roles to the expectations and if we did mess up, we would work together to finish it. I contributed with the programming and construction of both floors. Our plan going through this was to all work on one floor to finish it faster and then continue to the second floor together once it was done. Afterwards, Taha and I would work on the programming while Krish and Lei worked on putting the wires and holes for the wires in the house. I helped with wiring the breadboards and putting the wires throughout the house. The materials that we had received for the house were uneven and different thicknesses. The ones that we had cut ourselves were up to our standards however, the pieces that we received from other people had a different thickness which we didn’t realize until afterwards. This screwed us over a bit in terms of quality and time that we had left however, we should have noticed it ourselves and cut it ourselves so I don’t blame others for this. The only challenges that we faced with the electro-assembly was with the ultrasonic sensor and the wires themselves. The ultrasonic sensor sent a wave and counted the time it took to come back. In order to calculate distance, I had to look up the equation for calculating distance. The problem with wires were that they were too loose and would fall out.
