This week, I focused primarily on preparing for the proposal presentation. My secondary goal was to do research on which hardware components we should be using for our design. These components are the camera, microcontroller, buttons, and battery.
I am behind schedule, as I expected to make more progress on selecting hardware components for our expected design. Therefore, I plan on spending extra time this weekend to catch up.
In the next week, I hope to have a completed first list of selected hardware components, with detailed explanations for why those selections were made. This includes listing out all components that were considered and the various tradeoffs between these components. SWaP-C must be considered for each component, especially since most of our use case requirements depend on the size, weight, and power consumption of our device.
