As we had proposal presentations this week I personally did not make much progress on our project this week. I helped Nathan prepare to give our proposal presentation at the beginning of the week, and I think we did well but also received a lot of good constructive feedback regarding areas we could have done better in.
I did a little research on my own regarding other embedded systems to use than an Arduino since we got some feedback on that. I think there are other solutions that are cheaper and smaller and can connect with an Xbee and chair sensor for our purposes.
I think we are on schedule, we need to wrap up our research this next week and set on what components we want to use so we can start ordering items if need be. We could have done a bit more this week since we mainly just listened to other presentations and gave feedback, so I think we need to get a lot done this next week in order to have a strong start on our project.
