- What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the
project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
The most significant risk at the present moment is that the FSR packs that we ordered not working as we anticipate them working. They will be tested this upcoming week, but we only have two weeks before the interim demo. Because of this, we will be testing the FSRs at the beginning of this upcoming week to allow us enough time to make a quick Amazon purchase request for backup components.
The other main issue, as stated during last week’s report, is getting Bluetooth connectivity between the three components in our system. We have enough time to integrate this by the final demo, though it may still be in the works for the interim demo.
- Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward? Schedule changes?
There were no changes made to the existing design of the system, and there were no changes made to the project schedule.
