This week mainly saw me helping the team write the design report and develop the tag pcb schematics and layouts. With the prototype schematics just about done, I am now moving on to finishing the layouts and getting the pcb’s and parts ordered. The delays to the hardware schedule currently present a pretty large risk to the project, so I am working hard to close the gap.
I also worked on getting our prototypical RFID tag antenna built using the custom 3D printed ring.
I will primarily be working on the design report with MeeDm and Tarush throughout the first half of this week while the second half will see me getting the pcb’s ordered. If there is time, I will also be working on getting Shelley operational.
Finally, the DA14531 development boards I ordered have arrived meaning that I can get firmware development properly underway. This week I will aim to at least get a “hello world” program successfully flashed to the dev board.
