This week was focused on research and implementation design for our Design Review coming up. Since Nathan and I switched focuses, I have been working on flushing out details regarding the Data Hub. Some topics that posed difficult design decisions were the communication protocol to use, the software to interact with the backend, timing requirements, etc.
In preparation for the design review next week, which I will be presenting, I was in charge of setting up the slide deck and assigned slides to each person. I also made 4 of the 12 slides, as well as creating the new block diagram for our detailed implementation approach.
Next week, after presenting the Design Review, I will be transitioning into working with Will Foy on exactly how to interface the XBee modules together, optimizing for power efficiency while maintaining data accuracy.
