Week 7 Supervisor Meeting

This week, I demonstrated to Dr. Judhi that I was successfully able to capture the shot data one second before taking the shot, and one second after the shot by implementing custom fluctuation calculations and setting thresholds. The device effectively measured the rapid acceleration and deceleration due to the force at the moment of striking the cue ball, which triggered the function to record and send the measured values to the Firebase Real-time database via a Wi-Fi connection.

Dr. Judhi was particularly interested in testing the functionality himself and took a shot using a taped tennis ball due to the unavailability of a billiards table. Initially, the device data collection faced some issues, which I resolved the next day by fixing the memory mapping issue. Once the adjustments were made, Dr. Judhi took another shot, and the device functioned as intended. Additionally, the sensor was properly placed in the 3D printed mount, ensuring accurate shot data measurements. With this milestone achieved, Dr. Judhi advised me to now shift my focus towards the app development and plan for its integration with the hardware in the upcoming weeks.
