Bradley’s Status Report for 4/6

This week I got was able to calibrate the RFID Reader. After research and a meeting with Tamal, I came to the conclusion that the best way to go forward is to tap the ring to the pendant to activate the protocol, rather than having a button. Since there is no active RFIDs available for the frequency we are operating, switching the power off to trigger is not an option. There is also a way we can short the coils inside of the tag, but the tag is extremely small and may make the ring build awkward. Furthermore, we only have one tag we can even experiment with for now. I have worked on the voice detection trigger as well. We have ordered a new microphone that is better for our desired usage. I believe we will have the product done on time, but there is not much slack time for us. As a result, we will try to have a first final product soon. Next week I hope to finish RFID working as a trigger, having a ring, and speech detection functioning.
