Why: After reviewing the budget and discussing the pros and cons of designing vs. purchasing a premade skateboard deck, we opted to go with a premade one to reduce costs and speed up development time.
Cost Incurred: Decrease in cost–we save on time and manufacturing resources (laser cutting, materials).
Mitigation: By purchasing the deck, we avoid delays in custom fabrication and ensure more time for integration of components.
PROGRESS:
Completion of Requirements Gathering for Web App
The requirements for the Skateboard Control (Accelerate, Decelerate, Reverse, Recall) and Real-Time Data (Battery Life, Speedometer, Trip Details, Environmental Impact) components have been thoroughly documented.
Defined both the UI design and functionality for these components, including how data will be retrieved from the skateboard’s hardware.
Figma UI Design Mockups
Initial design for the mobile-first UI, showcasing design choices of color palette as well as home page and connection page.
