Archana’s Status Report for 2/20

This week I focused on researching the various topics described in the design proposal guidance. I helped in searching for the required components for our design, such as the load sensor. I did the website setup and worked on the slides for the design proposal. It was helpful to spend some time thinking about the requirements for a user of our product. I looked into the arts of espresso making and understanding the details helped me understand the requirements. As a team, we did a BoM and discussed division of labor and various testing strategies. I started to look into Eagle, which is the PCB design software that we have decided to use, and get familiar with it. I also started reading the documentation for Flutter, which is the multi platform app framework that we have tentatively decided to use.
