With the Design Report behind us, it feels like we have a solid foundation to deal with a lot of the complexities of our module. Joe has been working hard on the APU, and for the first time, we have a defined goal for how our filters and distortion effects will work. We’re pretty confident that this new level of rigidity for our specification will allow us to build out the hardware without all of the delays over implementation details.

It’ll be important soon to look into how our purchased components interface with each other, and if that will cause any problems. If so, we want to make sure we plan enough time to deal with those before our hardware implementation is too far developed.
