A hardware risk that we are currently facing is the delay in parts and our delay of ordering them. With our delay of these hardware components, it’s put us behind in building and testing our code. This would push our completion date as well as possibly affect our LED development in the later half of the semester. As of right now at least, we plan to have a pre-made circuit design layout on the vector boards to speed the build process when our components arrive as well as start soldering resistors as required. This would at least not waste too much of our time and allow us to gain back some later.
One of the risks of site development is that people may not find specific parts of it not very intuitive to use. Some issues can seem a little nitpicky (one of the 2 tabs should be highlighted so that the user can easily tell which page they are on) but having an easy-to-use site makes the product more appealing. To mitigate this issue, we’ll find some sample users and have them test out the site and record their feedback on specific issues with usage on the site.
No changes were made to the existing designs of the 3 different components of the project (hardware, software, go engine).
However, there were some changes made to the schedule:
