Olivia’s Status report for 4/6

This week I worked on testing and verification as well as getting Geo fence and location tracking with the onboard cellular unit working. This took figuring out how I would be able to take a latitude, longitude and radius and figure out latitude and longitude that was within that radius to create a whole area that was a “safety zone” and depending on if a person wanted the trigger would alert and SOS when they stepped out of the area, it would send an alert to their specified SOS people. Realizing that the GPS unit had multiple tracking abilities, including a update coords or syncing the GPS location when the actual device has moved was great, as this helped so that it would not take a lot of battery when trying to get the coords even when they are stationary. This unfortunately introduced a few bugs that while the GPS was running, it struggled to send texts, but after rigorous debugging and testing, we were able to fix it.
