Risks
The most significant risks to the project are if the code to read data from the sensors isn’t completed on time or if the sensors aren’t able to correctly determine whether the pieces are on the board. These components are critical to the project, because it would be bad if the game isn’t able to correctly detect where the pieces are.
To manage this risk, we have been working quickly to test individual components. We just confirmed that the hall effect sensor can work with the pi, so we will start to add additional sensors with a multiplexer to prove that the system can correctly read inputs sequentially from multiple sensors. We are looking at alternative options just in case certain components don’t work or function differently than hoped, but the general idea is to work quickly so that we have enough time to address issues should they come up.
