Our Work
Week 01
Our primary objective was to get familiar with the Fuse lab. During the lab, we observed the resources and possibilities available at the Fuse lab and pondered how we could integrate them into our project. The coaching session on interviewing was valuable for all of us, providing us with skills and techniques to conduct structured and informative interviews. It also clarified the scope of the task and gave us answers to our questions.
​
Week 02
Our objectives were to conduct initial research for the PESTEL framework, find interviewees, prepare to build a sensor, and create an Initial Idea Worksheet and Video. We were able to find relevant interviewees and gather information on the different aspects of the sportfishing industry. We also had a clearer understanding of how the sensor would be constructed and how to plan for the interviews
Week 03
The objectives were to discuss the sensor design in depth, search for appropriate sensor products to buy, and continue preparing for and conducting interviews. Zia and Marcus worked on preparing interviews and conducting interviews, while Max, Jakob, Anton, and Erik researched potential materials and components for the sensor and discussed the sensor's design.
Week 04
Our objectives for this period were to conduct five interviews, decide which sensor to buy and order it, and start working on a website design. In the end, we decided to focus on a sub-surface temperature sensor instead of pH, based on an interview conducted by Max and Anton. We named the new sensor "Tempura."
Week 05
Our objectives were to conduct interviews, order sensors, and continue working on website design. In actual procedure, we worked on refining the pitch, ordered a temperature sensor, and prepared for an interview with Fredrik Ljunghager.
Week 06
During this period of time, we worked on conducting interviews, assembling the sensor hardware, and continuing to work on the website design. We encountered some setbacks, such as a faulty SD card and a canceled interview, but we were still able to make progress in assembling the sensor hardware and conducting interviews. The team learned important lessons from the interviews, such as the importance of making the sensor easy to use and build.
Week 07
During this week the construction of the sensor progressed rapidly. Even with many bugs, the software was developed and working, and the LCD display and sensors were connected. Furthermore, interviews were continued, the website was being developed, and the industry deep dive was written and refined.
Week 08
During this time period the group decided to greatly increase the workload, in order to finish the project in time. This resulted in a finished sensor as seen to the right. It also yielded a finished industry deep dive, interviews, and even a test of the sensor. To conclude the pitch of the sensor was created, and so was the tutorial.
