Bradley’s Status Report 2/10

This week we worked on the proposal presentation. I helped with brainstorming the requirements needed for the proposal as well as creating the slides. While brainstorming, we reiterated our original plan from the abstract along with the advice given from Neha and Professor Mukherjee. I was able to identify the protocol we would use to communicate with the ring to pendant (bluetooth). This is because we want the most reliable way to have the button work on the first try, regardless of direction and clothing. After our meeting, I started to ponder which other triggers we would want to use for SOS. The ones I felt confident in for MVP were voice and GPS location. Furthermore, I helped with planning out our GANTT chart, and picked the tasks I felt confident I could complete.  We also discussed the things we would have to remove from the project’s MVP, such as cellular chip on pendant and digital security.  I think currently, our progress is on schedule. By next week, I want to completely outline how we initially plan to communicate between the devices (pendant, phone, ring). With this information, we can order the parts to help put us on good pace.
